Why Choose Purple Top White Globe Turnip?

• Two edible harvests: Enjoy both the white-fleshed roots and the leafy greens from your garden.
• Classic look: The rounded root develops recognizable purple shoulders where sunlight reaches it.
• Versatile in the kitchen: Roast or mash the roots and cook the greens in soups or sautés.
• Heirloom seed: Grow an open-pollinated variety and save seed from appropriately isolated plants when they flower in a later season.

Planting Tips for Success

• Sowing: Direct-sow into prepared soil in cool weather; turnips grow best when temperatures are moderate. Follow local frost dates for spring or fall timing.
• Soil: Loosen the soil and remove stones so the roots can expand evenly. Add compost for good drainage and steady fertility.
• Thinning: Thin seedlings to give roots room to form rather than leaving them crowded.
• Water: Keep soil evenly moist to support tender roots, but avoid waterlogged conditions.
• Fertilizing: Use modest balanced fertility; too much nitrogen can favor leafy growth over roots.
• Harvesting: Pick greens in moderation while plants grow, and harvest roots when they reach a useful size before they become overly large or woody.
