Root Crops

Growing turnips has long been a challenge despite my love for their crisp flavor and nutrition. Past attempts led to poor germination and tiny roots, likely due to soil issues. This year, I’m starting fresh with Hakurei turnips, sowing in modules to protect seedlings and preparing enriched raised beds. I’ll track seedling health, experiment with other varieties, and aim for a fall crop. With sunny weather ahead, I’m hopeful for a successful season.
