Turnips are best sown directly into open soil, but can also be grown in large containers. Wait until the soil is warm in mid-spring, because turnips tend to run to seed (bolt) when sown too soon. Sow early varieties successionally every 3-4 weeks from mid-spring to midsummer, in rows ½ in (1 cm) deep and 9 in (23 cm) apart. Slower-maturing main crop varieties can be sown at the same depth in midsummer, in rows 12 in (30 cm) apart. For a spring crop of turnip tops—greens with a distinctive peppery, lemony flavor—sow a main crop variety in late summer or early fall in rows 6 in (15 cm) apart.
