Turnip
200 seed
"Goldana"
Re-selected and improved Gold Ball type, same great taste, just better looking. Goldana produces uniform round roots with smooth, yellow skin and soft, golden-yellow flesh. Grows to 4 to 5 inches but best harvested at 3 inches for best sweetness and tenderness. Medium height with rather broad leaves.
Turnip prefer full sun with a soil pH of 6.5. Turnip are moderate feeders; require a deep, loose cultivated soil with medium water retention. Apply generously, compost and well rotted manure prior to planting. Turnips benefit from regular feedings with a compost tea or fertilizer with higher amounts of phosphorous and potassium for good root development. Boron is a key trace element for the prevention of Brown Heart (water core). (Boron may also be applied separately as a spray 4-6 weeks after planting).
Sow turnip thinly ¿¿-¿¿¿¿¿ deep. Space young turnip plants to 4-6¿¿¿ apart in rows 24-30¿¿¿ apart. Sow turnip seed as early as the soil can be worked to mature crop for early market.
