Rutabaga Growing Tips • When to Plant Rutabagas Rutabagas are a cool season root crop that grows best during the fall months, when cool temperatures help develop sweet, flavorful roots. While they can be grown in the spring in cooler climates, fall is the preferred planting season for most gardeners, especially in the South. Rutabagas are typically direct seeded, as they develop the best root shape when grown without transplanting. To plant, make a shallow furrow about ½ inch deep and lightly sow seeds along the row. Cover with soil, press gently to ensure good seed-to-soil contact, and keep the soil consistently moist until germination. Once seedlings emerge, thin them to 6–8 inches apart to allow plenty of room for the roots to size up. Rutabagas tolerate frost well, and cool weather actually improves their flavor by converting starches into natural sugars. They can remain in the garden well into late fall and even after several light frosts. • How to Fertilize Rutabagas It's alway…
