RUTABAGA is one of those vegetable crops that’s easy to grow from seed sown directly into the soil rather than needing to be started indoors. There’s a saying, “Rutabaga follows spinach,” which means that in the gardening year once the cold weather spinach has reached full size in spring and begun to decline by early summer, that failing spinach can be can removed from the garden to make way for the next crop: rutabaga. Considered a cool- or cold-weather crop with a preferred harvest time of late autumn or early winter, rutabaga grows over the course of three to four months from seed to maturity, improving after the first frost or two in taste and tenderness. 1 OZ = 9000+ Seeds per order.
