Sowing
Sow once the soil is warmer than 10 °C, in a sunny spot sheltered from the wind. Sow about three times as deep as the seed is thick, into finely raked soil with no clods on top. Spacing is as printed on the packet — thin the seedlings out after they come up. Water with a fine spray so the seed is not washed away, and keep only the strongest plants.

Turnip Snowball (Brassica rapa) is an annual vegetable of the Cabbage family (Brassicaceae). A first-class white turnip. This turnip is early, juicy and sweet-tasting.
It will bring good yields from early summer to early winter, and its tops make the most nutritious and tasty "greens".

Resistant to weather conditions.
Turnip is a fast-growing, cold-hardy root vegetable with a mild, slightly spicy flavour – for salads, soups and stews.

Turnips grow best in rich, well-fertilised soil, but will also grow in ordinary fertile soil to which plenty of well-rotted compost has been added. Sow the seeds from spring to midsummer (March-July), at a depth of 1 cm in drills 30 cm apart. Thin the seedlings to 10-15 cm apart. Harvest from June to December.
Sow in early spring or late summer; thin the emerged plants and water evenly.
Harvest and use
Pick the roots young, at 5–8 cm — they are most tender then.
