The turnip (Brassica rapa subsp. rapa var. majalis) is an ancient vegetable species with edible root. It is a special form of the edible turnip.
Origin:
Unidentified; Possibly from eastern Afghanistan, western Pakistan, or the Mediterranean.
Sowing can be in March, or for late harvest in July and August. Plenty of light and good air circulation will help the plant grow. Keep turnips weed-free and water them regularly during the growing season. Beets can be harvested 6-8 weeks after sowing, and the beets should be no more than 10 inches in diameter. The smaller they are, the more tender they are in taste. You can eat both the turnip and its leaves. Simply turn the largest tubers out of the soil, which you may have loosened a bit on the sides with a spade beforehand. Let the smaller tubers continue to grow.
