Turnip Planting Information:

Turnips are easy to grow and work well as a winter vegetable in the South. You can eat them raw or cooked. Turnips do not do well in hot weather. Plant in early spring, 35 days before the late frost, or in late fall for a winter crop. Turnips store well in a root cellar. You can plant turnips directly outdoors in soil or in pots indoors and transplant them outdoors. Start thinning when the plant is 4 to 6” tall. Harvest before a hard freeze, or if the tops look withered or yellow.

Soil Requirements:

Turnips require fertile soil with compost. Apply mulch, grass clippings, or straw around the base of the plant.

Water Requirements:

Water during dry, hot spells.

Fertilizer Requirements:

Use Slow-Release (6-month) Fertilizer when transplanting outdoors. Apply Miracle-Gro Liquid Fertilizer periodically.

Harvest Tips:

The best turnips are when no bigger than 3 or 4 “ in diameter. Pick them before they get any larger. Frequent freezing and thawing will ruin the Turnips, so pick before the first heavy frost.
