HOW TO GROW PURPLE TURNIP FROM SEEDS
CARE FOR PURPLE TURNIPS AFTER GERMINATION
When they are a few inches tall and thin, the turnip sprouts 4 to 6 inches apart, keeping the toughest ones. To protect the top of the tubers from harsh sun, mulch the purple top plants with straw. Keep the soil continually moist by watering the purple top plants regularly. The tubers grow most quickly and tenderly when the soil is constantly wet. Do not allow the soil to dry out. Halfway through the growing season, side-dresses the purple tops with compost by spreading it between the rows next to the plants. Keep the turnip bed weeded constantly. The roots of weeds can lead to small purple top tubers and encourage pest infestations.
USES AND HEALTH BENEFITS OF PURPLE TURNIP
Purple turnips, known as Purple Top Turnips, offer a variety of culinary uses and potential health benefits. When preparing these turnips, they can be baked or boiled and incorporated into stews, soups, or stir-fries, adding depth and flavor to your dishes. Alternatively, lightly steam them and enhance their taste with butter, salt, or a squeeze of lemon juice.
