Product Information

Although these crops will stand some heat, they are normally considered cool-weather crops. Plant them in late Winter or early Spring for a spring crop or in the late Summer for a Fall or Winter crop. The seeds of Turnip are very small. The seedlings are fairly small and delicate as well. Scatter the seeds and rake them in or plant them thickly in a straight, narrow line. Cover the seeds about 1/2 in. deep. Very thick stands will have to be thinned to allow for good root formation. To ensure good germination and emergence, frequent, light watering may be needed. Crusty soils will retard emergence and a poor stand may result in these soils.

If the weather is dry, irrigation during the root development stage will give the best quality roots.

Early season weed control is essential. When rows are used, shallow cultivation and hoeing are effective. In a wide bed, pulling the weeds is sometimes the only solution. This should be done when the weeds are very small. Hoeing and cultivation also keep the soil loose and friable around the plants, enabling them to produce large, well-shaped roots.

Turnips will thrive in many types of soil. A loose, friable loam will allow the best root size and formation. Good drainage is essential, but dry soils should be avoided unless irrigation is planned. Soils of moderate fertility will produce the best crop, although proper fertilization and pH adjustment can overcome lack of natural fertility.

*Product packaging may appear different than what is pictured.~~~

Plant in the fall or spring at a rate of 5 - 10 lbs per acre. This seed needs to be at a depth of 1/8 - 1/4 and prefer a pH of 5.5 - 6.5.


A soil test should be taken to determine the soil pH and nutrients needs. The optimum pH for turnip production is 6.0 to 6.5. Apply lime according to soil test recommendations at least three months prior to planting, to adjust the pH to the proper level.

Soils that are infested with root-knot nematodes should be avoided particularly for the Fall crop; these pests will cause deformed roots. Do not plant Turnips after other cole crops.

A soil test is always the best method for determining the fertilization needs of a crop. Add additional nitrogen when the young plants begin to put on "true leaves," or after a heavy rainfall. Avoid applying too much nitrogen, which will reduce root formation. Broadcast fertilizer over the whole planting area a few days before seeding. Sidedress applications should be placed at least 3 in. away from the seed row.

Nice looking pair of shorts
Size: X-Large, Color: Dark Grey, Size: X-Large, Color: Dark Grey
I ordered these to have as a casual option for the warm weather. These are made of 95% polyester, but feel soft and comfortable. They are of good quality and seem very durable. The material is fairly thick, but still lightweight. I love that the pockets have zippers to keep my items secured. I did not find any loose threads or visible defects. Good value for the money.

Not terrible, but the material and fit just weren’t for me...
Size: X-Large, Color: Khaki
I really wanted to like these shorts. From the pictures, they looked precisely the style of summer shorts that I like. Unfortunately, I was left somewhat disappointed as soon as I opened the shipping package. The biggest thing for me is the material. These shorts are much shinier in person than I expected from the listing photos. Depending on the lighting, they have a kind of satin sheen to them, which is not really the look I was going for and not what the photos depicted. I was hoping for something a little more understated; closer to khaki material. The fabric also holds wrinkles more than I expected. Even after smoothing them out or folding them carefully, they seem to keep creases pretty easily. It gives them a slightly messy look unless you’re constantly adjusting or hanging them properly. The material is also very thin, which would be nice, but likely is the reason the wrinkles are so apparent. Fit-wise, they land in that awkward middle ground where they are not exactly uncomfortable, but they never quite feel natural either. The cut just sits a little strangely on me. It is hard to pinpoint exactly why, but they don’t drape or move the way my favorite shorts do. Sometimes that happens where the proportions technically fit, but the overall shape still feels off. That said, they are not all bad. The construction itself seems decent, and they feel like they would hold up reasonably well to regular wear. I also appreciate that they are lightweight and breathable enough for warmer weather. At the end of the day, these might work really well for someone who likes a shinier look and does not mind a more structured fit. For me personally, though, the combination of the sheen, wrinkle-prone material, and slightly awkward fit kept them from becoming a pair I would want to have in my regular rotation.

Comfortable Everyday Shorts with a Clean Casual Look
Size: Large, Color: Dark Grey
These shorts strike a good balance between casual comfort and a more put-together appearance. The twill fabric feels durable enough for regular wear while still being lightweight. The drawstring adds flexibility in fit, which makes them easy to wear in different settings—from casual outings to light activity. The 7-inch inseam gives a modern, slightly athletic look without being too short. Pros • Comfortable fit • Versatile casual style • Lightweight but durable fabric Cons • Not performance-focused • Limited stretch compared to athletic shorts Overall A solid everyday short that works across multiple casual settings.

Good Basic Pair of Basic Shorts
Size: Large, Color: Khaki
These are a good basic pair of shorts. They fit well with a comfortable drawstring waist and a nice length that’s not too short or long. The material feels a bit thin, which is actually a positive for summer since they’re lightweight and breathable. The color came out a little more gold than true khaki in person, but it still looks decent. Overall, they’re solid for casual wear, beach days, or just around the house. We’ll see how they hold up after washing, but so far I’m happy with them for the price and will be wearing them regularly.
