Growing Tips for Organic Amber Globe Turnip Seeds: Planting: Direct sow seeds in early spring or late summer for a fall harvest. Plant seeds 1/4 inch deep, spaced 2-4 inches apart, in rows 12-18 inches apart. Thin seedlings to 4-6 inches apart for optimal growth. Soil: Prefers well-drained, fertile soil with a pH of 6.0-7.0. Turnips grow best in soil that is rich in organic matter. Add compost or aged manure to improve soil fertility. Watering: Keep the soil consistently moist to ensure tender roots. Water regularly, especially during dry periods, to prevent the roots from becoming tough or woody. Sunlight: Requires full sun to partial shade. Ensure your turnips receive at least 6 hours of sunlight per day for the best growth. Temperature: Ideal growing temperatures are between 50-70°F (10-21°C). Amber Globe turnips can tolerate light frost, which can even enhance their sweetness. Fertilization: Apply a balanced fertilizer or compost at planting time and again mid-season if needed. Avoid excessive nitrogen, which can lead to leafy tops at the expense of root development. Harvesting: Harvest turnips when they reach 3-4 inches in diameter, typically 55-60 days after planting. Smaller turnips are more tender and flavorful. For a continuous harvest, sow seeds every 2-3 weeks during the growing season.
