Hello! The cardboard was delivered in poor condition and soaked. The vine plants: perfect. The quince tree plants are blackened with lots of fallen leaves and broken stems. The seeds are perfect despite the moisture in the cardboard. I think these issues are due to the negligence of the carrier(s).

If you encounter any issues, please do not hesitate to contact us at 03.61.76.08.10 and we will proceed with a refund or replacement if necessary.

Description
The 'Extra Early Red' Milan Turnip is an early and uniform variety with a flattened root, ideal for greenhouse cultivation. This biennial herbaceous vegetable plant, 25/30 cm (10/12in) in height, is grown for its fleshy root, white with a purple collar. Its firm flesh is slightly sweet and can be used raw or cooked in many dishes. Sow from February to April for a harvest two months later.
The turnip has been known since prehistoric times and has always been part of the diet of Northern European people. It is often consumed cooked, in gratins, mashed or as an accompaniment to soups, stews, and stews. Baby turnips do not need to be peeled and can be eaten raw, grated, and mixed with other raw vegetables. Young turnip leaves can also be used in soups. Turnips have diuretic, refreshing, and mineralising properties and contain vitamins (A, B5, B6, C, PP) and minerals (calcium, iron, copper, magnesium).
The numerous varieties of turnips allow for year-round harvesting. This root vegetable comes in many shapes (long, semi-long, round, or flat) and colours (white, yellow, pink, or purple).
Turnips require a supply of well-rotted compost (3 kg/m²) in late autumn or early spring.
Harvest: Turnips are generally harvested two months after sowing. Spring-summer turnips will be harvested from May to July according to needs and desired size. Autumn-winter varieties, intended for storage, will be pulled up from October and before the first frost. To harvest them, lift with a garden fork and gently pull on the base of the leaves.
Storage: Cut the foliage above the collar and let the turnips dry out on the ground for a few hours. Turnips can be stored in a cellar or a cool, dark place in dry sand for several months.
Gardener's tip: Good to know! Planting fennel next to turnips helps repel flea beetles and turnip flies. For better protection, use a forcing net or an insect net if necessary. Regular weeding and hoeing should be done.

Planting and care
Preparation: As turnips are root vegetables, the soil should be carefully loosened and levelled before sowing. Turnips thrive in light, fresh, fertile soils without excess limestone. They are sensitive to frost, drought, and excessive sun exposure. Regarding crop rotation, avoid cultivating turnips in the same plot for at least 3 or 4 years.
Sowing: Create furrows about 1 cm (0in) deep using the handle of a tool, for example. Sow thinly (one seed every 5 cm (2in)) and then cover the seeds with a bit of fine soil and gently "firm" it with the back of a rake. Space the rows 20 to 30 cm (8 to 12in) apart. Keep the soil moist to ensure quick germination.
Once the turnips have at least two leaves, thin them out, leaving approximately one plant every 10 to 12 cm (4 to 5in). Do not replant the removed plants, as they do not tolerate transplanting. After thinning, perform one or two quick weedings.
Maintenance: Hoe, mulch, and water to maintain soil moisture. Turnips require regular watering (about once or twice a week in summer if mulched, less in autumn).

Hardiness is the lowest winter temperature a plant can endure without suffering serious damage or even dying. However, hardiness is affected by location (a sheltered area, such as a patio), protection (winter cover) and soil type (hardiness is improved by well-drained soil).
In temperate climates, pruning of spring-flowering shrubs (forsythia, spireas, etc.) should be done just after flowering.
Pruning of summer-flowering shrubs (Indian Lilac, Perovskia, etc.) can be done in winter or spring.
In cold regions as well as with frost-sensitive plants, avoid pruning too early when severe frosts may still occur.
The harvesting period indicated on our website applies to countries and regions in USDA zone 8 (France, England, Ireland, the Netherlands).
In colder areas (Scandinavia, Poland, Austria...) fruit and vegetable harvests are likely to be delayed by 3-4 weeks.
In warmer areas (Italy, Spain, Greece, etc.), harvesting will probably take place earlier, depending on weather conditions.
The sowing periods indicated on our website apply to countries and regions within USDA Zone 8 (France, UK, Ireland, Netherlands).
In colder areas (Scandinavia, Poland, Austria...), delay any outdoor sowing by 3-4 weeks, or sow under glass.
In warmer climes (Italy, Spain, Greece, etc.), bring outdoor sowing forward by a few weeks.
The planting period indicated on our website applies to regions in USDA Zone 9a (East Coast and Midlands: Dublin, Wexford, Waterford, Kilkenny, Portlaoise). It will vary depending on where you live:
- On the west coast and in the north-west (Galway, Limerick, Sligo, Donegal, Westport), delay planting by 1 to 2 weeks in spring and bring it forward by 1 to 2 weeks in autumn compared to the dates given, preferably choosing periods without strong winds.
- In the inland hills and plateaus (Wicklow Mountains, Macgillycuddy’s Reeks, Connemara, Killarney), it is best to plant in spring (April–May) or autumn (September–October), avoiding periods of waterlogged soil in winter and strong winds, which pose the main risk to newly planted trees in these areas.
The flowering period indicated on our website applies to regions in USDA Zone 9a, such as the East Coast and Midlands, including Dublin, Wexford, Waterford, Kilkenny and Portlaoise.
This will vary depending on where you live:
- On the west coast and in the northwest (Galway, Limerick, Sligo, Donegal and Westport), it will be delayed by one to two weeks compared to the given dates, due to stronger Atlantic winds and less spring sunshine.
- In the inland hills and plateaus (the Wicklow Mountains, the Macgillycuddy's Reeks, Connemara and Killarney), flowering will be delayed by two to three weeks. Flowering mainly occurs between May and July, with the limiting factors being less frost and more of the excessive humidity, strong winds and lack of sunshine that are characteristic of these areas.
