“Anyone know if turnips can be grown in large containers and moved inside the house when it gets cold?”
How much time do you have left in your growing season? What is your growing zone? If it’s Zone 5 or higher, you’ve got time. Turnips only take about 5-6 weeks to grow. (Check the package for your seed variety). Turnips LIKE cold weather and benefit from a frost or two.
No need to move them inside. Keep the pot on the SOUTH or WEST side of your house - wherever they’ll get the most sun while they’re growing, even if it’s cold outside. If you’re trying to squeak out a crop and you’re running into freezing weather, you can also throw a towel over them at night and take it off during the day.
Wow, thanks for that info; much obliged! OK is Zone 7, so I'm good to go on that part. No place to put 'em on the south side, but the deck has a direct western exposure & gets the most sun.
