Turnip Leaf

Great for the Canadian gardener, these cold hardy plants are a great pre-season addition or a fantastic fall harvest.

Planting Guide: Cold hardy, these can be started 2-4 weeks before the last seasonal frost as long as the soil can be worked or they can be sown in late August/early September for a fall harvest. Sow 1/2" deep, 6" apart in rows 12" apart. Compost recommended. Water regularly and deeply. Avoid extreme heat. Full to partial sun.

Harvest: 45-50 days - leaves are edible and can be trimmed once grown at any time while waiting for the turnip to mature.

Friendly Neighbours: Most traditional garden vegetables work great next to turnips - some examples include: beans, tomatoes, broccoli, spinach, cauliflower, etc..
