Seven Top Turnips are a popular garden variety of turnip. These hardy turnips have been enjoyed by gardeners for many years. The plants are used for their greens only. Unlike purple top turnips, seven top turnips spend most of their energy on leaf production and not on the root.
Seven Top turnips are also becoming a very popular planting for deer. Deer love the leafy forage. Seven top turnips are high in protein and are suited to many soil types. Turnips are an excellent companion crop for clovers, dwarf essex rape, and cereal grains.
Plant in the Spring or in the Fall.
Broadcast seeds on a well-tilled seed bed and cover 1/4 inch. Fertilize according to soil test or apply 300 lbs. 13-13-13 per acre.
