| Turnip
Turnips hit their peak at just about the same time other vegetables in the garden succumb to frost, but they can also be planted in the spring. In either case, turnips like frequent cultivation and temperatures under 75 days. To grow spring turnips for the roots rather than for greens, plant the seeds in hills located 12 to 18 inches apart and cover with 1/2 inch of soil. After they are up and growing, thin to four or six inches apart. If growing mainly for the tasty tops, however, sow thickly and don't thin as much. Harvest while small for best flavor and texture. For a winter crop, sow in late July or early August in rows or just broadcast the seed. |
