When to Sow Turnips

March to June 

Where to Sow Veitches Red Globe Turnips

Early sowings are best made under cloches. Sow turnip seeds direct into the growing site in seed drills 2cm (3/4in) deep, with rows spaced 30cm (12in) apart. Sow in succession every 14 days to prolong the harvest period.

What to do Next

As soon as first rough leaves appear, thin to 10cm (4in) apart. Harvest from when roots are golf ball size, pull alternate roots to maximise crop. Water regularly during hot dry weather to prevent roots from going woody.

Maturity

June to October

Handy Tip

Can be grown for turnip tops, an alternative to spinach. Sow a little thicker but do not thin, treat as cut and come again crop.

Nutritional Values

A good source of Vitamins B6 and a very good source of dietary fibre and Vitamin C.
