| Rutabaga
Rutabagas, also known as "yellow turnips", are old-fashioned root vegetables. Sow the seed in rows that are 12 to 18 inches apart, covering with 1/2 inch of soil. Once the plants are up and thriving, thin so that they are spaced four to six inches apart. Rutabagas prefer cooler temperatures, and if you attempt to grow them in very hot weather, they become woody. As with other root vegetables, harvest while young for best flavor and texture. |
