Turnips and Onions

In go the first rows of turnips. One of the Yates Japanese Turnip (Hakurei). One half of Yates Turnip (Purple Top White Globe), and the other half row is from the seeds gathered last year and stored over the winter. When tested last year these home-seeds sprouted but were not grown to completion.

Turnips: sprout 6-10 days, harvest 10-12 weeks
J. Turnips: sprout 6-10 days, harvest 10 weeks

Yates Onion (sweet red). The packet says plant mid-autumn to late-winter. Spring is very late winter. Lets see if they work. Planted one row.

Onions: sprout 10-14 days, harvest 25-28 weeks (thats six months!).
