Planting Instructions:

Seed Preparation:

Golden Ball turnip seeds do not require any special preparation. However, soaking seeds in warm water for a few hours before planting can speed up germination.

Sowing:

Sow seeds directly into the garden as soon as the soil can be worked in the spring or late summer for a fall harvest.

Plant seeds 1/2 inch deep in rows spaced 12-18 inches apart.

Space seeds 2-4 inches apart within each row to allow room for bulb development.

Germination:

Keep the soil consistently moist but not waterlogged during the germination period.

Seeds typically germinate within 5-10 days.

Thin seedlings to 4-6 inches apart once they have a few true leaves to reduce competition and promote healthy growth.

Transplanting:

Golden Ball turnips are usually direct-sown and do not require transplanting.

If starting seeds indoors, transplant seedlings into the garden when they have 3-4 true leaves and after the last frost date.

Care and Maintenance:

Water regularly to maintain consistent soil moisture, especially during dry periods. Turnips need about 1 inch of water per week.

Mulch around plants to help retain moisture and suppress weeds.

Keep an eye out for pests like aphids, flea beetles, and root maggots. Use insecticidal soap or neem oil if necessary.

Practice crop rotation to prevent soil-borne diseases and maintain soil fertility.

Happy Gardening!
