PLANTING INSTRUCTIONS:
Sow directly in garden as early as soil can be worked. Cool weather vegetable. Plant 2 seeds every 2 inches. Thin to one plant every 2 inches when seedlings are 2 1/2- 3 inches tall. Sow again in late summer for fall crop.

Greens are tastly if picked when small and tender. Pull roots when they are 4-6 inches across. Light frost improves flavor, but if roots are left in the ground over winter, mulch heavily.

*If you wait too long into the crop’s cycle to harvest, the root will be rough and woody. Pull when they're the size of a baseball.

Being a biennial plant, rutabagas don't set seeds until the second year. Several plants can be left unharvested, allowing them to go to seed the next year. An alternative method is to dig the roots and store them through the winter, replanting them in the spring to harvest the seeds after blooming.

*Companion Plants: Peas are best to add nitrogen. Don't plant Allysium around root vegetables like potatoes, turnips or rutabagas.

*Don't plant rutabagas around other root vegables. Particular pests to carrots or potatoes will go for your prized rutabagas. Pole beans don't do well with them either. Too much nitrogen.

Whe will i get them if i win

Howdy mckanziemackline, Shipping from southern California is usually 2 - 4 days. At times seeds are held up due to inspection by USPS - Dept of Agriculture. We have tough agriculture rules here in California because of all of the vegetables and produce grown here. I follow USPS rules by disclosing to USPS what's inside of the envelope and request that the envelope to be hand canceled. Sometimes this will delay shipping. If seeds are sent and not disclosed and the post finds out about it, either the shipper or recipient will receive a notice that a fine is due before they release the seeds. That's why you don't see a lot of backyard gardeners listing their seeds on auction sites. A gal had told me on Listia that I should label the envelope beads. I guess a postal worker told her to do that so the envelope won't be inspected. I fear USPS. :O)

Howdy maryemartinez. Rutabaga is a good hardy plant. It can be stored for a long time much like a potato or apple if it's kept in a cool dark place. I like to cube them, blanch them in boiling water for a few seconds, lay them on a cooking sheet then freeze them. After they're completely frozen, I'll put them in freezer bags so that I'll have rutabaga all year long particularly during the winter for stews.

I may have some peas laying around. I'll see about getting some listed. Cheers ~LosAngeles
