The Seventop turnip, known for its lush, leafy tops, grows heartily in well drained soil, basking in ample sunlight. Its leaves are a deep, verdant green, often reaching up to half a meter in height, creating a lush canopy that can transform any garden into a verdant paradise. These leaves, tender yet resilient, are not merely decorative; they are a culinary treasure, packed with nutrients and a slight peppery bite that adds zest to salads, soups, and sautés. Beneath this leafy abundance lies the turnip itself, a modest, creamy white bulb that may not take center stage but offers a subtle, earthy flavor when roasted or mashed.

Cultivating Seventop turnips is a gardener's delight. They thrive in cooler climates and are best sown in early spring or late summer. The seeds, tiny yet potent, are sown just beneath the surface of the soil, where they germinate quickly, sending forth shoots that soon unfurl into the characteristic lush leaves. Regular watering and occasional fertilization ensure a healthy crop, but the Seventop turnip is relatively low maintenance, making it an ideal choice for both novice and experienced gardeners alike.

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.
