Today George and Carole also sowed turnips in the small raised beds.

There were 12 varieties of different colours: white, yellow and purple. These would take 8-10 weeks before they could be harvested as small baby turnips. A range of autumn onions and shallots would be sown after the turnips.

Turnips should be sown in drills 30 cm (12”) apart and 18mm (¾”) deep from April onwards. This is an easy to grow vegetable that matures quickly with a delicate flavour.
