GROWING:
Sow turnip thinly ¼-½” deep. Space young turnip plants to 4-6” apart in rows 24-30” apart. Sow turnip seed as early as the soil can be worked to mature crop for early market. For the main storage crop, plant turnips in late June or early July, so that roots can develop in the warmer weather. Late plantings are less susceptible to turnip root maggot damage. Plant in Spring for early summer crop. Lovely and sweet when picked small.
COMPANION PLANTING OF TURNIPS:
Turnip do well with the Onion family and peas.
CARE & GROWING OF TURNIPS:
Turnip prefer full sun. Turnip are moderate feeders; require a deep, loose cultivated soil with medium water retention. Apply generously, compost and well rotted manure prior to planting. Turnips benefit from regular feedings with a compost tea (manure tea) or fertilizer with higher amounts of phosphorous and potassium for good root development.
*If you are planting a summer crop, you want to plant the turnips early. If you are planting so you can have turnips to store throughout the winter, then plant them late in the summer so they can be harvested before first frost.
