|'Amber Globe', also known as 'Yellow Globe', is an heirloom variety with yellowish flesh. This turnip has a pungent flavor. Quite susceptible to worms. Hardy into the winter. The turnip is a bienneal that is grown as an annual. This temperate climate crop grows best when temperatures are around 68 degrees F. Soil should be moist, but well drained and have a medium to low fertility level. Turnips tend to bolt when soil becomes dry. Once ground is workable in spring, sow seeds and continue doing so about every 3 weeks until the first of summer or until weather gets too hot at about 3/4 inch deep. Space rows 9 inches apart and thin plants with scissors so they are about 4 inches apart. Early turnips can be harvested at about 5 weeks and main crop anywhere from 6 to 10 weeks. Much later than that and plants will be too tough.
