Turnips are easy to grow and are good for winter vegetable in the South. They can be eaten raw or cooked. Turnips do not do well in hot weather, plant early spring, 35 days before late frost, or late fall for winter crop.Turnips are suitable for root cellar storage.Turnips can be planted directly outdoors in soil, and can also be planted in pots indoors and transplanted outdoors. Start thinning when plant is 4 to 6” tall.Harvest before a hard freeze, or if tops look withered or yellow in color.

Soil Requirements:

Turnips requires fertile soil with compost. Apply much and grass clippings, or straw around base of plant.

Water Requirements:

TuMV – Turnip Mosaic Virus

Type: Virus - Potyvirus

Turnip Mosaic Virus is a disease that affects the growth of turnips. Symptoms include light green circular and irregular lesions on leaves, leaves are distorted and mottled, blistering, and stunting of the plant. Black spots develop on leaves which prematurely drop which leads to defoliation. The virus can cause substantial crop loss. The virus is transmitted by aphids and is not transmitted by seeds. The virus survives for long periods in plant debris. Mild winter temperatures favor survival of the virus, thus the disease can be greater the following spring. The infected plants should be removed and burned to avoid further infestation. Plan on using a 3 year crop rotation and avoid planting in the same location, year after year. Insecticides for aphids can control the disease. The best option is to use disease resistant varieties.

This is a truly sweet, delicious, and tender turnip with no root. It is getting more and more difficult to find. My "winter" garden lasted from Sept. to just last week, and every mess was just simply delicious. Cook with a little chopped onion, a small amount of bacon grease (and/or crumbled cooked bacon), salt and pepper. Have lots of pepper sauce and cornbread ready.
