Description
The Red Milan Turnip is an early spring variety that produces medium-sized, flattened roots with a white collar that is reddish-purple. Its flesh is sweet and pleasantly fragrant, and of very good quality. It can be consumed both raw, finely grated, and cooked. Sowing is done from March to May for a harvest from May to July.
Turnips have been known since prehistoric times and have always been part of the diet of people in Northern Europe. Its root is consumed raw when young, grated in salads or cooked, gratinated, sautéed, mashed, or served as an accompaniment to soups, stews, and casseroles. Turnips have diuretic, refreshing, and remineralizing properties, and contain vitamins (A, B5, B6, C, PP) as well as minerals (calcium, iron, copper, magnesium).
Turnips require a supply of well-decomposed compost (3 kg/m²) in late autumn or early spring.
Harvest: Turnips are harvested as needed and as they develop.
Storage: They can be stored for a few days in a cool place. Starting from November, turnips are dug up, cleaned, and stored in dry sand in a cellar throughout the winter.
Gardener's tip: Regular weeding and hoeing should be done. A protective insect net can be installed to prevent potential attacks from flea beetles.

Planting and care
Sowing
Germination occurs at a temperature ranging from 7 to 30 ° (44.6 to 86°F) and takes between 4 and 7 days
The seeds are sown thinly in loosened soil, in rows spaced 25 cm (10in) apart. Cover the seeds with half a centimeter of compost or fine soil. Gently firm with the back of a rake and water with a fine spray. Keep sufficiently moist until germination.
Maintenance
When the young plants have 4 to 5 leaves, thin them out, leaving one plant every 10 cm (4in). Weed and water regularly.

Hardiness is the lowest winter temperature a plant can endure without suffering serious damage or even dying. However, hardiness is affected by location (a sheltered area, such as a patio), protection (winter cover) and soil type (hardiness is improved by well-drained soil).
The flowering period indicated on our website applies to countries and regions located in USDA zone 8 (France, the United Kingdom, Ireland, the Netherlands, etc.)
It will vary according to where you live:- In zones 9 to 10 (Italy, Spain, Greece, etc.), flowering will occur about 2 to 4 weeks earlier.
- In zones 6 to 7 (Germany, Poland, Slovenia, and lower mountainous regions), flowering will be delayed by 2 to 3 weeks.
- In zone 5 (Central Europe, Scandinavia), blooming will be delayed by 3 to 5 weeks.
In temperate climates, pruning of spring-flowering shrubs (forsythia, spireas, etc.) should be done just after flowering.
Pruning of summer-flowering shrubs (Indian Lilac, Perovskia, etc.) can be done in winter or spring.
In cold regions as well as with frost-sensitive plants, avoid pruning too early when severe frosts may still occur.
The planting period indicated on our website applies to countries and regions located in USDA zone 8 (France, United Kingdom, Ireland, Netherlands).
It will vary according to where you live:
- In Mediterranean zones (Marseille, Madrid, Milan, etc.), autumn and winter are the best planting periods.
- In continental zones (Strasbourg, Munich, Vienna, etc.), delay planting by 2 to 3 weeks in spring and bring it forward by 2 to 4 weeks in autumn.
- In mountainous regions (the Alps, Pyrenees, Carpathians, etc.), it is best to plant in late spring (May-June) or late summer (August-September).
The harvesting period indicated on our website applies to countries and regions in USDA zone 8 (France, England, Ireland, the Netherlands).
In colder areas (Scandinavia, Poland, Austria...) fruit and vegetable harvests are likely to be delayed by 3-4 weeks.
In warmer areas (Italy, Spain, Greece, etc.), harvesting will probably take place earlier, depending on weather conditions.
The sowing periods indicated on our website apply to countries and regions within USDA Zone 8 (France, UK, Ireland, Netherlands).
