Add a classic, dependable root crop to your garden with Organic Turnip – Purple Top White Globe (Brassica rapa), a time-tested heirloom favorite. This variety produces smooth, round roots that are bright purple on top and creamy white below, with crisp, mild white flesh that is delicious roasted, mashed, glazed, or added to soups and stews.

The young greens are tasty too, eaten raw in salads or cooked like other Southern greens. Turnips are fast and easy to grow in cool weather. Sow directly in the garden in early spring or late summer to fall, thin seedlings to 3–4 inches apart, and harvest roots at 2–4 inches across for the best texture. Fall sowing, about 6–8 weeks before first fall frost, gives the sweetest roots.
