The leaves and stems of the turnip (mostly those of the edible turnip), which are used as a vegetable, are called stalk mush, turnip stalk, stem mush, stalk ripsen, Köhlstille, Runkelstielchen, Knisterfinken. Thus, stalked turnip belongs to the cruciferous family (Brassicaceae) and is not a separate species but a subspecies of turnip. The taste is sourish to cress-like.
2 Growing possible in August-September. Stalk mush is sown very densely, so that the leaves develop preferentially and not the roots. Only short shelf life. Harvested when the leaves are 10-25 cm, if you leave the heart, the leaves grow again. Fast germinator, good gap filler. The variety Namenia can be sown 30x30 cm apart, as it was bred not to form turnips. Generally less sensitive to pests due to the short cultivation period.
