Description

The Golden Ball Turnip is an heirloom variety that forms bright yellow roots. Its flesh is sweet, firm, and highly aromatic, offering excellent flavour. It can be enjoyed both raw, finely grated, or cooked. Sowing from July to November for a harvest from September to December.

These organic seeds are presented in a 3-metre seed tape: the pre-spaced seeds are embedded between two very thin layers of biodegradable fibre. This method is highly practical, easy to set up, and eliminates the need for tedious thinning.

Turnips have been known since prehistoric times and have always been part of the diet of Northern Europeans. The root is eaten raw when young, grated in salads, or cooked—gratinéed, sautéed, mashed, or as an accompaniment to soups, stews, and casseroles. Turnips have diuretic, refreshing, and remineralising properties and contain vitamins (A, B5, B6, C, PP) as well as minerals (calcium, iron, copper, magnesium).

Turnips require well-rotted compost (3 kg/m²) in late autumn or early spring.

Harvest: Turnips can be harvested as needed and as they develop.

Storage: They keep for a few days in a cool place. From November onwards, turnips can be lifted, cleaned, and stored in dry sand in a cellar throughout winter.

Gardener's Tip: Carry out regular weeding and hoeing. An insect-proof mesh can be installed to prevent potential flea beetle attacks.

Planting and care

Sowing:

Soil should be carefully loosened and levelled before sowing. Turnips grow best in slightly acidic, light, cool, rich soil. They are sensitive to frost, drought and too much sun. Rotate your crops and wait 3 to 4 years before growing turnips on the same plot.

Sow from August to September in furrows, 1 cm deep and 30-40 cm apart. Sow the seeds sparingly, one every 5 cm, and cover with ½ cm of fine soil or sowing mix. Gently firm down and water. Make sure to keep the soil moist until germination.

Care:

When the plants have at least 2 true leaves, thin them out by keeping one plant every 10-12 cm. Discard the extra seedlings as turnips do not transplant well. Hoe and water regularly (once or twice a week during the summer months when using mulch, slightly less often during the autumn).
