I know this is an old thread but I have a couple questions about rutabaga. I was misspelling it & could only find 7 references to it here. So everything I have found I put together & put in my blog here so I would have it all in one place. However, I still have a couple questions.
I found rutabega seed at my local feed store. They sell it in large amounts, like 1/2 pound, etc. Even the smallest size has TONS of seed that I will never use all of. They have 2 kinds of rutabega seed - one I can't remember the name of & one labeled "rutabega turnip". They also had various turnip seed so I'm confused about the rutabega turnip. As I've explained in my blog post, I have to have rutabega, not turnip so I have to make sure I get rutabega. So, can anyone tell me what the rutabega turnip would be? Rutabega or turnip?
I was going to plant some in containers & some in the ground but I haven't found any information on how many I can put in a container or if its even a good idea.
My husband seems to think they grow like potatoes, with several coming from the roots. I haven't seen any information on this but what I have seen points towards 1 seed=1 plant=1 rutabega.
