Purple Top White Globe Turnip Planting Instructions
Turnips are seeded directly into the garden; they do not transplant well. Scatter turnip seed. Do not cover the seeds with more than ½ an inch of soil. Once seedlings are 4 inches high, thin them to 4 to 6 inches apart. Space wide rows 12 inches apart. Thin turnips grown for greens from 2 to 3 inches apart (or, some of us don’t bother thinning for greens at all).
Preserving And Storing White Globe Turnips
Don’t freeze more than 2 pounds of food per cubic foot of freezer capacity per day. Cool cooked beets promptly in cold water. Remove stem and taproot, and slip off skins. Cut into slices or cubes. Fill pint or quart zip-type plastic freezer bags or plastic freezer containers. Remove as much air as possible from freezer bags. Allow ½ inch of headspace in rigid plastic containers. Seal, label, and freeze. If desired, beets may be spread in a single layer on shallow trays or pans. Place in the freezer only long enough to freeze firm. Check often after the first hour to avoid loss of moisture. When beets are firmly frozen, package, leaving no headspace, and seal. Tray-packed beets remain looser, allowing you to pour desired amount from the container. Click here to learn more ways on how to preserve turnips.
