Hi Guys,



I was looking over at Burpee for Turnip seeds and

found these



http://www.burpee.com/organic-garden...rod002266.html



Some questions:



1) under the growing info tab, it states "Sow thinly in rows

11/2-2� apart". Is this a typo? Should this be 1-1/2" to

2" apart?



2) In the main page is states "1 Pkt. (600 Seeds)". 600 seeds!

Does this mean microseeds like carrot seeds? Yikes! What

a pain in the neck to plant!



Many thanks,

Some gardeners mix tiny seeds with another medium, like maybe sand, to make sowing easier.

carrot seeds, I don't see them as particularly tiny, compared to some other seeds.

If you don't want to sow 600 seeds, just pick up a smaller packet at your neighbohood nursery.

Thank you!
