Turnip – Goldana (Organic)
£1.65 Add to basketTurnip – Goldana (Organic)
An improved version of the Golden Ball turnip, creamy-yellow flesh, suited for spring and autumn sowing. Turnips are very traditional vegetables which, unlike most of the vegetables we eat, are native to Europe. For some reason they are not as popular as they used to be.

It is quick to grow and doesn’t need much attention. “Get them in, get them out” is what Fred says.
