HOW TO GROW

Sowing: A cool weather crop, Golden Globe turnip seeds thrive when planted three weeks before the last frost in the spring, or after the hottest part of summer for a fall crop. Direct sow yellow turnip seeds in rich, deeply worked soil and full sun, 1/2" deep in rows 12-18" apart; as the seedlings grow, thin them to 4-6" apart.

Growing: Apply mulch to conserve moisture and control weeds. Watch out for pests such as the red and black harlequin bug, which must be removed to prevent damage.

Harvesting: Harvest greens as soon as they reach a good size for eating; if using both the greens and the root, harvest only 2-3 leaves per root. Since small turnips have the most tenderness and flavor, pull them when they reach a size of 1-3". To store them for extended periods, cut the top down to 1/2" and store in a cool, dark place without washing off the dirt. Gardeners with warmer winters will be able to apply a layer of mulch and leave the crop in the ground all winter.

Seed Saving: Yellow turnips will cross pollinate with other varieties of turnips, and should be isolated to ensure genetic purity. This vegetable must overwinter before producing seed. In warmer climates, a layer of mulch will be sufficient for protection. In colder climates, dig up the turnips; cut the tops to 1" and store them in damp sand at 33-40 degrees F until replanting in spring. The roots will send up flowering stalks. When the seed pods begin to turn brown, remove them before they shatter or dig up the entire plant and hang it upside down in a protected location to dry. Thresh the seed from the dry pods by crushing them. Store bulk Golden Globe turnip seeds in a cool, dry place for up to 4 years.

DESCRIPTION

Enjoy perfectly shaped, golden turnips with fine grain and sweet flavor. The smooth yellow skin and yellow flesh never becomes woody. Pull at 3" inches for best quality, and the tops can be used as a tasty green as well. Ready in about 55 days, these turnips keep well.
Golden Globe is an heirloom turnip that appears in records dating back to 1859. According to expert gardener William Woys Weaver, "Americans shared the Scottish love for this yellow turnip because it was an old hardy sort dating at least from the eighteenth century that could be relied on well into the winter. In fact, this variety... could be stored through the following March and were greatly valued as a food source when other supplies were low."
