Description: How To Grow Purple Top TurnipsWorking the soil in the garden till it is loose is a good idea. If needed, supplement with compost to create fairly productive conditions in a well-drained region with a pH of 5.5 to 6.8 and full sunlight to partial shade.With your finger, make 1/2-inch deep shallow trenches. 12 to 24 inches apart is a good distance for trenches. Four to six weeks before the final frost, sow purple top turnip seeds approximately 1 inch apart in the trenches, gently burying the seeds with soil, for harvest in late spring.Temperatures of 60 to 65 degrees Fahrenheit are ideal for growing purple tops and other turnip kinds. Grow them so that afternoon temperatures reach 75 degrees Fahrenheit 45 to 65 days after they are planted.Instead, sow them in the late summer for a fall harvest after the summer heat has gone, or sow them each two weeks through the middle of the summer for a persistent crop in locations with cooler summers.When they’re a few inches tall, thin the immature turnip sprouts 4 to 6 inches aside, preserving the toughest ones. Shield the tops of the tubers from the sun by mulching the purple top plants with straw.Keep the soil moist by watering the purple top turnips on a constant schedule. This guarantees the most sensitive tubers and the highest growth. Allow the soil to remain moist at all times.Midway through the growing season, side dresses the purple tops with compost by distributing it between the rows adjacent to the plants. Maintain a continuous weeding of the turnip bed. Weed roots can result in little purple top tubers, which can attract pests.Once the roots are 3 to 4 inches wide and the temperature is under 75 degrees Fahrenheit, harvest the purple top turnips. Pull them out of the ground with a garden fork and shake off any excess soil.Trim the greens off and consume them right away or refrigerate them for future use. Keep the purple top roots cool and wet in a cellar. Benefits Of Purple Top TurnipsIn your vegetable crops, Purple Top Turnips will not let you down.
