If you're looking to add more delicious homegrown veggies to your meals, Bonnie Plants Purple Top White Globe Turnips make a great choice for your spring or fall gardens. A cool-season vegetable that tolerates frost, turnips add fabulous flavor to garden-to-table meals even during chilly seasons. The entire plant is edible, from roots to leaves. The sweet white roots with purple shoulders taste great mashed, fried, baked, or roasted, making a perfect potato substitute. Try using turnips for a cheesy gratin. Add the greens to soups or stews--or puree them for an interesting pesto. Turnips need full sunlight and cool temperatures to produce well, so plant them in spring or fall. Space turnips 6 to 8 inches apart, and plant in well-drained, nutrient-rich Miracle-Gro soil. The greens grow 6 to 12 inches tall, while the roots reach 3 to 4 inches in diameter and mature in 35 to 45 days. Be sure to water your plant when the top inch of soil feels dry to the touch, and feed it regularly with Miracle-Gro plant food. With more than 100 years of experience, Bonnie Plants easy-to-grow varieties create culinary inspiration, adding delicious flavors, textures, and colors to your garden-to-table meals.
