Growing Turnips

Question

Last year when we grew some turnips in our garden they sized up very well but they were very woody near the root system. Is there something I can put in the ground to stop this problem?

Answer 1

This happens to turnips when they are left in the ground too long. The best way to avoid it is to harvest the turnips a little bit sooner. Here is more info: https://www.gardeningknowhow.com/edible/vegetables/turnip/harvesting-turnips.htm
