About this variety

The roots of Golden Ball have an appealing yellow flesh, with a lovely firm texture that lies somewhere between that of a turnip and swede. Good in soups, stews or grated raw into a salad.
Golden Ball is quicker growing than a swede, though slower to bulk up than the modern turnip hybrids, like Tokyo Cross, which we also sell. Plants are winter hardy, and can be sown at any time; though plants will grow faster in warmer conditions, and slower or stop growth altogether in the cold months. For an autumn treat, sow seeds from mid-July to mid-August and grow outdoors; or for delicious winter eating sow in the autumn and grow on in a polytunnel or greenhouse.

When to buy and plant

Use the sowing dates on the packet. Some seeds need indoor sowing and transplanting; others can be sown directly outdoors when conditions are suitable.

Planting and growing

Follow the packet for sowing depth, spacing and germination conditions. Choose suitable seed compost where required, label varieties and avoid letting seedlings dry out.

Aftercare

Thin or transplant seedlings as directed and harden off indoor-raised plants before planting out. Water and feed for the crop or flower you are growing.
