Turnips are fast-growing vegetables cultivated for mild, spicy roots and also for edible greens. You can grow and harvest this versatile crop throughout the year, and eat it raw or cooked.
Turnips come in different colors, shapes, and sizes. They can be flat or round and have white or purple skins, while early and maincrop varieties are suitable for growing at certain times of year. Whatever type you choose to plant in your vegetable garden, they are simple crops to grow from seed.
