| Did well for me here. I don’t care for turnips in general, but these small Japanese types are nice raw—like a milder radish. Grew quickly and without problems as a spring crop. |

| This is a small white Japanese type. Very early. I grow it mainly in the late summer to Fall and it does very well, even with some heat. It produces usable roots very quickly and remains tender for a long time (in the Fall anyway) Great greens too. After trying other early types, I've found this one to be superior. I inter-plant with late large types and this works out very well. |

| I grew this variety for the first time in 2006 under a floating row cover. I planted thickly and harvested greens and tiny turnips to thin, then grew to golf ball size. All delicious! Next year I will plant more widely spaced. |

| Great spring and fall crop. Smooth white roots with very thin skin. Flesh is crisp and flavor is sweet. Everyone who tastes it, loves it. |
