White Egg Turnip (Brassica rapa) A very popular heirloom turnip variety of the 19th century, also known as ‘Snowball’. The white globe shaped roots are fine-grained and quite mild. Harvest at the 3” stage of development for maximum flavour. Easy to grow and stores well.
50-55 days to maturity
100 seeds per packet
Planting Instructions: A fast-growing, cool-season crop, perfect for spring and fall planting.
Direct sow seeds 1–2 cm (½ in) deep as soon as soil can be worked. Thin seedlings to 10–15 cm (4–6 in) apart, with rows spaced 30–45 cm (12–18 in).
Turnips prefer full sun and well-drained, fertile soil. Keep soil consistently moist. Harvest when roots are 5–8 cm (2–3 in) in diameter for best flavour.
