TURNIP-GOLD BALL - ORGANIC

This is a very good keeping variety that produces smooth perfectly shaped golden coloured balls. It is smooth skinned with a fine texture and it never gets woody. The turnips reach 7-10cm in size. It is very delicious in soups, stews, casseroles and especially prized when baked. It stores well and is an excellent source of Vitamins A & C. The young leaves can be used as a green in salads and stir fries. This variety matures in 45 - 65 days. Turnips like a soil that has been pre-prepared with lots of organic matter. The soil must be well drained, as do most root vegetables. This is in order to prevent root rot. If drainage is an issue consider raised bed gardening for this crop. The seeds should be sown1cm deep and 12-20cm apart in rows 30-50cm apart. Sow in Sep- Apr in both Cool and Temperate areas and Aug-May in the Subtropics and from Mar- Sept in the full Tropics.
