Light colored tan rather than actual gold, the Golden Ball turnip, is a wonderfully flavored variety of turnips greens. A variety dating back to the middle 1800s.

How to Save Seeds 

Separate turnips from other plants in the Brassica Rapa family. Plants are biennial so will require overwintering with mulch or trim leaves to 2 inches above the bulb and store them in a root cellar in either damp sawdust or sand. Replant in spring and wait for them to flower; when pods dry out they are ready.
