Cultural Notes:

• Can be sown in early spring where they grow quickly and should be harvested before the weather gets too warm or they get heat-stressed as they will become woody.
• Early autumn sowings will last through winter.

Problems:

• Use Dipel spray if cabbage moths are flying around in the garden.

Harvest:

• Harvest plants for the roots before they fully mature to ensure that they are not too strong in flavour.
• Turnip greens are becoming increasingly popular in stir-fries and have huge health benefits as they are an excellent source of vitamin A (through their concentration of carotenoids such as beta-carotene), vitamin C, vitamin E, vitamin B6, folate, copper, calcium, and dietary fiber (three examples of conditions for which they may be of special importance are rheumatoid arthritis, colorectal cancer and atherosclerosis).
