Turnip 'Japanese'

Ensure your soil has a ph of between 6.5 and 7.0 as Japanese is a weakly acidic soil - neutral soil loving plant.

Look to ensure a distance 0.98 inches (2.5 cm) between seeds when sowing - bury at a depth of at least 0.47 inches (1.2 cm) deep. Soil temperature should be kept higher than 4°C / 39°F to ensure good germination.

By our calculations, you should look at sowing Japanese about 35 days before your last frost date.
