PLANTING INSTRUCTIONS:
Sow directly in garden as early as soil can be worked. Cool weather vegetable. Plant 2 seeds every 2 inches. Thin to one plant every 2 inches when seedlings are 2 1/2- 3 inches tall. Sow again in late summer for fall crop.

Greens are tastly if picked when small and tender. Pull roots when they are 4-6 inches across. Light frost improves flavor, but if roots are left in the ground over winter, mulch heavily.

*If you wait too long into the crop’s cycle to harvest, the root will be rough and woody. Pull when they're the size of a baseball.

Being a biennial plant, rutabagas don't set seeds until the second year. Several plants can be left unharvested, allowing them to go to seed the next year. An alternative method is to dig the roots and store them through the winter, replanting them in the spring to harvest the seeds after blooming.

*Companion Plants: Peas are best to add nitrogen. Don't plant Allysium around root vegetables like potatoes, turnips or rutabagas.

*Don't plant rutabagas around other root vegables. Particular pests to carrots or potatoes will go for your prized rutabagas. Pole beans don't do well with them either. Too much nitrogen.
