Turnips - Purple Top White Globe - Org

Purple Top White Globe Organic Turnip is a fast growing, crisp turnip; purple above ground, white below. It grows quite large, up to 6" and remains tender, but is best when pulled at 3" to 4". Young turnips are so tender you can peel and eat them just as you would an apple. With its fine-grained white flesh, this root is excellent raw, for pickling, or cooking. Use the young leaves cooked as greens, stir-fried, or in soups. Purple Top White Globe is a good fall crop that is enhanced by frost, and also stores well. Sow spring crops as soon as the soil can be worked. Plant turnip seed over a well-tilled bed. Rake to cover seeds with 1/2 inch of soil to bury the seeds. Water deeply once a week (about inch of water at a time) so the roots don't become tough and bitter; mulch heavily. . ... details
