Sowing and Growing Guide

Turnip Milan White

Indoor Sowing

  • Start seeds indoors 4-6 weeks before the last expected frost date.
  • Use shallow containers filled with seed starting mix and sow seeds 1/4 inch deep.
  • Keep the soil consistently moist and maintain a temperature of 50-75°F.
  • Thin seedlings to one plant per cell once they have two true leaves.
  • Transplant seedlings outdoors when they are 2-3 inches tall and the risk of frost has passed.

Outdoor Sowing

  • Sow seeds directly into the garden 2-4 weeks before the last expected frost date.
  • Choose a well-draining location with full sun to partial shade.
  • Sow seeds 1/4 inch deep and 2 inches apart in rows spaced 12-18 inches apart.
  • Keep the soil consistently moist until seedlings emerge.
  • Thin seedlings to 4-6 inches apart once they are a few inches tall.

Growing

  • Turnip Milan White prefers well-draining soil rich in organic matter.
  • Water consistently to keep the soil evenly moist.
  • Fertilize every 3-4 weeks with a balanced fertilizer.
  • Protect young plants from pests like flea beetles and aphids using row covers or insecticidal soap.
  • Harvest turnips when they reach the desired size, usually around 2-3 inches in diameter.
  • For continuous harvest, sow seeds every 2-3 weeks.
