Ref : P5420
- Brassica rapa
Bag of 500 seeds
This ancient variety produces cylindrical roots, swollen at the bottom, 12 to 16 cm long. The flesh is tender with a fine, slightly sweet taste. This turnip lends itself well to forced cultivation.
Harvest the roots when they are still young, as they tend to become hollow.

Sow lightly, directly in place, after the last frosts, in rows 25-30 cm apart. Cover seeds lightly, press down and keep soil cool. Thin to 10 cm when plants have 5 to 6 leaves.
Turnips do not appreciate dryness, which makes their roots fibrous. Regular watering is therefore recommended. Roots kept for the winter should be harvested before the first frost and stored in a cellar. They can also be left in the garden, protected from frost, but beware of pests.
