Essential Steps
1
Location
Pick a sunny spot where you haven't recently grown brassicas. This helps prevent soil-borne diseases.
2
Soil Prep
Enrich your soil with quality compost and organic matter, working it into the top layer.
3
Planting
Sow seeds directly about 5mm deep, keeping soil consistently moist until germination.
Care & Harvest
The key to sweet, tender turnips is timing your harvest right. Some varieties are ready in just 35 days, while others need 10-12 weeks to reach perfection. Don't forget about those nutritious leaves – they're delicious in your cooking too!
