Seeding
Turnips require time and space to grow. When planting beet seeds make 3-5 holes in your soil, each ¼” deep, spaced evenly throughout your grow bag and plant 2-3 seeds per hole.

Garden Tips
Turnips originate from Europe and Central Asia as one of the earliest cultivated crops. They became a widely grown staple during the Middle Ages, particularly in medieval Europe, where they were a crucial part of the peasant diet due to their hardiness and ability to thrive in poor soil. Turnips also play a key role in crop rotation systems, helping improve soil fertility.
