Turnip
Brassica campestris
Turnips are hardy, cool-season vegetables that can be grown in a wide range of climates and conditions. Generally grown as an annual, turnips grow best in full sun or partial shade. This crop requires well-drained soil, and will not fare well in a wet, waterlogged location. Sandy and loamy soils tend to provide the best drainage, while heavy clay soils should be avoided.
