Turnip Plants are quick-growing and rewarding vegetables for the garden, allotment and raised beds, and you’ll be able to harvest your own fresh, delicious turnips at home. Easy to care for and deliciously versatile in the kitchen, the roots and young leafy tops can be enjoyed in a variety of dishes.
Golden Ball, Tokyo Cross and Purple Top Milan all have their own flavor, color and growing qualities. Plant just one of your favorites or try several varieties for more variety in your home-grown harvest.
Turnips grow best in fertile, well-drained soil in a sunny location. Water plants well, especially in dry weather, to encourage fine, evenly developed roots. Turnip Plants are an easy choice for gardeners of any experience level, and are perfect for enjoying freshly harvested vegetables straight from your own garden.

Watering Keep the soil consistently moist while the crop is establishing and growing, especially during flowering, fruiting or rapid leafy growth. Water deeply at the base rather than little and often, allowing excess water to drain away. Plants in containers, grow bags or greenhouses may need daily checks during warm weather.
Best Growing Conditions Grow in sun or partial shade in multi-purpose compost, enriched with organic matter where appropriate. Choose an open position with good airflow and enough space for the crop to mature without excessive competition. Protect tender crops from late frost and cold winds, and use greenhouse or sheltered growing conditions where the variety requires extra warmth.
