Join the swede renaissance with Invitation. This is a grower friendly variety with yellow flesh and a purple top. It has large leaves which help keep down any weeds around it! Perhaps its most important virtue, apart from its excellent taste, is that it is club root & powdery mildew resistant.
Price for 60 seeds
SOW: from May to July. Prepare their position by raking to a fine consistency and remember to sow very thinly – their final spacing needs to be about 15cm apart.
GROW: to help them thrive water in dry weather and keep them weeded – Invitation grows large leaves which will help suppress weeds too. Thin them out if necessary. First picking from October, main harvest December to March
EAT: slice or cube and roast like parsnips or add to stews and casseroles. We also like them mashed – peel before cooking. To freeze: peel, dice, blanch for 2 minutes, drain and dry and pack into portions. Boil from frozen for 6-8 minutes.
