Turnip greens have an excellent nutritional qualities for herbivores,
and they are very high in
calcium.
It is an easy to grow leafy vegetable, which can be started in small individual pots in sterile
seed starting mix. Make sure to keep it evenly moist, but not soggy. When
the seeds germinate, move to a
sunny location. After a few true leaves appear you can transplant them
into the garden or a larger container. During hot weather it is best to grow
them in
partial shade. After the leaves are growing well you can cut the outer leaves,
cutting 2" above the root. Do not disturb the roots and it will continue to grow
and produce more leaves.
