About Rutabaga

Rutabaga is a cold-climate staple — a cross between turnip and cabbage that stores exceptionally well through winter. Hearty flavor that improves after frost.

Direct sow 90-110 days before first frost — a fall crop is ideal. Thin to 6-8 inches. Harvest after several frosts for best flavor. Stores well in root cellar or refrigerator for months.
