How do turnips reproduce?
Answers: They reproduce by seed..not the bulb..the bulb part you devour...
The next part of the process is the sowing of the core; this may be performed by drilling machines of different sizes and constructions, through all acting on one and the same principle. A machine drawn by a horse in a duet of shafts, sows two drills at a time and answers extremely well, where the ground is flat, and the drills properly made up. The cargo of the machine ensures a regularity of sowing just about to be gained by those of a different size and construction. From two to three pounds of seed are sown upon the acre (2 to 3 kg/hectare), though the smallest of these quantity will give many more plants surrounded by ordinary seasons than are mandatory; but as the seed is not an expensive article the greater part of farmers incline to sow gelatinous, which both provides against the danger of part of the core perishing, and gives the young plants an supremacy at the outset.
Turnips are sown from the beginning to the end of June, but the second and third weeks of the month are, by judicious farmers, accounted the most proper time. Some relatives have sown as early as May, and near advantage, but these early field are apt to run to seed before winter, especially if the autumn be favorable to foliage. As a general rule it may be laid down that the earliest sowings should be on the latest soils; plants on such soils are habitually long before they make any great progress, and, within the end, may be far behind those surrounded by other situations, which were much later sown. The hot turnip plant, indeed, does not thrive hurriedly till its roots reach the dung, and the previous nourishment afforded them is normally so scanty as to stunt them altogether before they catch so far.
Turnips grow from a bulb. The bulb sends out runners.
