| Large turnip with unusually mild, crisp, cream-colored flesh, similar to a rutabaga in flavor. Golden Globe's ample tops are probably perfectly serviceable as greens, but I grew them for the outstanding roots alone. Some of these were the size of large rutabagas, but were not woody or hollow-hearted.
I purchased the seed from everwilde.com. They were grown in medium-heavy soil amended with a touch of compost and hardwood ashes and well-mulched with straw. Planting was in late August and I am still (as of January 7) harvesting fine turnips. |

Seeds from High Mowing Organic Seeds.
Fantastic turnip. Great taste, not too woody even through July in CNY. (Cool year.) Harvested 3-5". Big turnipy plants, thin appropriately. No problems whatsoever, did fine in medium clay. Golden colored flesh throughout. |
