Organic Turnip Fort Umpqua Seeds
Sweet roots for cool season gardens
Organic Turnip Fort Umpqua seeds produce fast-growing, versatile turnips known for their smooth roots, mild flavor, and tender greens. This dependable variety thrives in cool weather, making it ideal for spring and fall plantings where quick maturity and consistent performance are essential.
The roots develop a crisp texture and sweet flavor when grown in fertile, well-draining soil with even moisture, while the leafy tops can be harvested young for nutritious greens. Fort Umpqua turnips adapt well to raised beds, traditional garden rows, and small spaces, giving gardeners a multipurpose crop with a generous harvest window. Their reliability and balanced taste make them well suited for roasting, mashing, pickling, or adding fresh to soups and stews.
For additional cool-season vegetables to pair with turnips in early spring or fall gardens, explore our Vegetable & Flower Seeds collection, where you’ll find root crops, greens, and brassicas that thrive in similar growing conditions.
