My daughter planted a row of turnips and only the left-hand 50% have
come through to show some early leaf growth - the rest, nothing at all.

They don't use weedkillers so nothing has been applied by them to the
surface to prevent germination.

Any ideas what could cause such a weird effect?

I don't know where you live but Turnips are a cool weather crop usually
planted in the fall - here in zone 6.


I get two full plantings in 5b. I've never had problems even during the
hottest summers (which around here is lucky to reach 30c).
