3 Turnips


When I saw these three very different looking Turnips and that there is an average of 40 seeds per pack of seeds, and that two of the packs had been reduced from 39p & 29p to 19p, plus I would be using the MANVSLUG10 10% Discount Code it was a no brainer really. I had to add them my seed box for growing in 2023.   


Turnip - Miland Purple 
- Seeds to Suit 

Purple Topped white rooted version of the famous Miland turnip. One of the finest flavours available from its buttery smooth flesh. 

Very resistant to cold and even the greens when they are young and tender. 

Harvest when the roots are no larger than 70mm diameter for maximum flavour and texture. 

Approximate Seed Quantity: 40

Sow outside as soon as soil is workable, avoid freshly manured areas. 

Sow a second crop in late summer for an autumn/winter harvest

Cover seeds with 6mm of fine soil

Row spacing 380mm - 450mm

When seedlings are 50 - 100mm tall thin to 100mm - 150mm apart

Days to germination 14-21 (can be longer depending on soil & weather conditions 




This pure white version has a wonderfully sweet flavour. 

Fast to mature it is a great option for successional sowing into early autumn. 

Use the greens when they are young and tender. 

Harvest when roots are no larger than 50mm 

Approximate Seed Quantity: 40

One of the best late cropping varieties around. It has an excellent mild nutty and firm texture and goes well into winter without becoming woody. 

Harvest when the roots reach 70mm diameter for maximum flavour and texture. 

The globes are smooth yellow with golden flesh and the greens can be utilised when young and tender. 

Can be slow to germinate so patience is required but they are worth it.
