Turnips are best incorporated into the cultivation sequence as a subsequent crop.
In this case, they bring lower yields, but the beets remain more tender and tastier. Cultivated as a main crop, the beets become very large and are often woody. You sow in mid to late May on an outdoor growing bed quite extensively and only need per m2 2 to 3 g seed. It takes about 5 to 6 weeks. During this time it is essential to water regularly. Planting takes place in early to mid-July, so that all vegetables except cabbage, who clear the bed until then, can serve as a precursor. The planting width is 40 cm x 30 cm, what a need of 9 plants per m2. Water well immediately after planting, to ensure rapid growth.
