Turnip ‘Snowball’

Thin seedlings as they grow to a final spacing of approx. 20cm apart to give plants space to develop. 20cm 45 - 60 days Hardy TIPS:

Grows best in fertile, well-drained soil in full sun. Sow successive crops at 2 – 3 weekly intervals to help ensure a continuous supply.

Pick and enjoy roots when young 5cm-7cm for best flavour. Thinning is important and harvesting some early helps to promote the growth of remaining plants.

Turnip seeds are typically sown direct as they grow fast, and transplanted seedlings often develop twisted and deformed roots.

Fairly easy and fast to grow, making them perfect for beginners. Store turnips without their top on to keep the roots nice and firm.

Turnips thrive in the company of peas and onions as well as with other members of the onion family.

They should not be planted near other root vegetables such as potatoes, carrots and radish as they will compete for the same resources.
