I guess some crops don't waste any time once they find the right conditions to grow. I planted a section of my extra bed with six rows of turnips just five days ago. Today when I went out to look at the garden, I was pleasantly surprised to find six short rows of new leaves peeking from the soil. Turnips don't seem to mind the cold, but I still covered the new sprouts with a thin layer of mulch since the weather was going to bring in some cold temps and snow in the next few days. Since turnips are a quick growing crop, I expect to be harvesting the first of them in early June. In fact they may be one of the first crops I get out of the garden.
