HOW TO GROW
Sowing: A cool weather crop, Seven Top turnips 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 our turnip seeds for sale 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: 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 the seeds in a cool, dry place for up to 4 years.

Seven Top turnip seeds
I was glad to find this variety for turnip greens. Your packaging is great, the seeds look clean and viable, they arrived lickety split. I look forward to planting!
Lotsa seeds
My seeds arrived plenty quick, and waaay more seeds than I expected. We haven't planted any yet, but if they sprout as good as they look, we'll have some great plants.
Great value
While I have not planted yet, the seeds look awesome and what a deal for the amount of seeds vs cost/shipped to the home without spending time and gas money to pick them up. Will order again!
A beautiful package
The seeds came in a package with a strikingly majestic image of three women.I suspect it's based upon Scripture, namely the Book of Ruth. You should have accompanied it with proper attribution-the title, name of the artist and date.Also the layout needs adjustment because when you turn the package the reverse side is upside down.
Thank you for being original and creative.
