Turnip Seed. Organic Purple Top White Globe. Pkt.

$3.99

New! Heirloom. 50-60 days This standard American turnip is what most folks envision when they think of turnips. Roots are snow-white below the soil line, bright purple-rose above. They are very smooth, and the flavor is mild when the plants mature into cool fall weather, as turnips should be grown. Typical harvest size is 2-3” in diameter but they can reach much larger size while retaining good quality if left in the ground through the waning days of autumn. The tops are also very delicious, if more piquant than the roots, when harvested young and prepared as greens; in much of the country when greens are mentioned, it is the leaves of this variety that are meant. Turnips are an old-fashioned crop that used to be considered a staple; they are easily grown, can be stored all winter, and deserve a place in more of today’s gardens! 276,650 seeds/lb Pkt(~200 seeds) plants 25′
