Give your vegetable garden a touch of excellence with Bella Luna Japanese Turnip seeds. This variety, designed for quick and regular harvests, is suitable for urban gardens as well as balconies. Expect uniform, crisp, fresh-tasting roots that are equally at home in salads and Asian-inspired cooked dishes.

Key Features

• Bella Luna Japanese Turnip — a variety suited to cool climates and ideal for spring and autumn sowing.
• Versatile culinary profile: deliciously crisp raw, excellent stir-fried or grated as a light garnish.
• Early and continuous harvest: fast-growing roots for freshly ready-to-use portions.
• Carefully selected seeds for reliable germination and uniform growth in different types of containers (pot, planter, open ground).

Cultivation and Care

To obtain straight and uniform roots, plant the seeds in open ground or in shallow pots. Follow these simple guidelines:

• Sowing: depth 1–2 cm, spacing between plants 5–8 cm, rows spaced 25–30 cm.
• Germination: 7–14 days depending on soil temperature and moisture.
• Soil and exposure: prefer light soil, rich in organic matter, and a location in full sun to partial shade depending on your local conditions.
• Thinning: when the seedlings form a few leaves, space the plants 4–8 cm apart to encourage optimal root development.
• Watering: keep the soil slightly moist, without excess standing water, to avoid cracked roots.

Harvest and Storage

Expect a harvest period of approximately 40 to 70 days after sowing, depending on the climate and care provided. Pick young roots for a tender texture and more delicate flavor. Store in the refrigerator for 1 to 2 weeks to preserve crispness and flavor, or opt for quick preservation in cooked or marinated form to extend use in your dishes.

Ideal for

• Urban gardens, balconies, and small vegetable patches where space is precious
• Short sowing cycles in spring and autumn
• Versatile culinary uses: fresh salads, stir-fries, light curries, and homemade tsukemono
