Turnip
A variety of Brassica rapa
How to sow turnip: Direct seed outdoors, thin to 10cm when seedlings are 3cm tall
Sun requirement for turnip: Plant in Full Sun
Turnips are smooth, round root vegetables 5-20 cm in diameter. They are often white below the soil line and bright purple or green above.
