I planted these as a trap crop between rows of lima beans. Worked well in keeping lice from the bean vines, also makes a good eating green, but roots are inedible.
The standard for turnips. Dependable producer of both roots and greens. Stronger flavor than many.
An excellent open pollinated white turnip. Better quality than White Egg and more dependable. Excellent greens.
A 50 day cultivar. Several of the Mennonite seed and feed stores in this area stock it, so I tried it. It is a strap-leaf cultivar and I did not find the greens to be as tender and tasty as the Purple Top/White Globe. The turnips are very good at egg size, but they get pithy quickly as they get bigger.
A nice basic white variety of turnip.
A 55 day, tennis ball size, bright red turnip. Interior is white with rose blushing. Very pretty and easy to grow. Early maturing.
An early 19th century antique that is still popular in the south. Globe shaped roots are smooth, nice size (best at 3-4 inches) with light yellow flesh. Excellent greens. Very competitive with the standard Purple Top/White Globe.
