- Choose a sunny location with well-drained, fertile soil. Sow White Egg Turnip seeds directly in the garden early in spring or late summer, planting them about 1/4 inch deep and spacing them 2-3 inches apart in rows.
- Ensure consistent soil moisture during germination and throughout the growing season. Applying a layer of mulch around the turnips helps retain moisture, suppress weeds, and maintain even soil temperature.
- Typically mature in 35-60 days, and you can begin harvesting when the roots reach 2-3 inches in diameter. These turnips are best when young and tender.
