Turnip 'White Mini'
Brassica rapa
S247
A tender, round, white turnip that stores well and offers both edible roots and shoots. The spherical-shaped roots are crisp and ready to harvest in just 7 weeks. A delicate treat: try roasting them whole with a splash of olive oil, then serve alongside roasted baby carrots and beef Wellington. Both the turnip and foliage are edible, which is great if you're looking for a seasonal green to spice up your winter cuisine.

How to grow
Both swedes and turnips need to be grown quickly to ensure mild, sweet roots, so give them full sun, plenty of water and blood and bone mixed with a little bit of lime. Thin seedlings to 10cm spacings.
