Turnips are a popular item for Animal Crossing: New Horizons players. They can be used for a variety of activities, such as trading, selling, and even crafting. But did you know that you can actually plant turnips in the game? That’s right – it is possible to grow your own turnip crops in Animal Crossing: New Horizons!
The first step to growing your own turnips is to purchase them from Daisy Mae. She visits the island every Sunday between 4:00 AM and 12:00 PM and sells turnips at prices that vary depending on the day. Once you have purchased your turnips, they must be planted immediaely or they will rot over time.
To plant turnips, sow seeds directly in the soil ¼ to ½ of an inch deep, 1 inch apart, in rows 12 to 18 inches apart. You can also scatter turnip seed and thin later. Cover seeds with not more than ½ an inch of soil. To ensure healthy growth, water consistently and avoid overwatering or underwatering your crop.
Harvesting your own turnips can be very rewarding, but it does require some patience and dedication. If you are willing to put in the effort, then you may find yourself harvesting more than enough turnips for all of your needs! So why not give it a try? Planting turnips can be a great way to add another layer of fun to Animal Crossing: New Horizons!
The Effects of Bury Turnips in Animal Crossing
If you choose to bury turnips in Animal Crossing, they will remain safe and sound underground. The turnips won’t rot or spoil while buried and will remain in their original state until you decide to dig them up. Bury them deep enough so that other players or animals won’t find them, and be sure to mark the spot so that you can easily locate the turnips when you want to retrieve them. If done correctly, burying your turnips can be an effective way of storing them without taking up space in your home.
Planting Turnips
To plant turnips, start by selecting a sunny spot in your garden where the soil is well-draining and fertile. Prepare the area by loosening the soil with a spade or tiller and adding a balanced fertilizer or compost. Sow turnip seeds directly into the soil at a depth of ¼ to ½ of an inch deep, spacing them 1 inch apart in rows 12 to 18 inches apart. Cover with ½ an inch of soil, water thoroughly and consistently, and ensure that the soil remains moist as seedlings emerge. If you’d prefer to scatter your turnip seed, do so and then thin out any clusters later on. With proper care, your turnips shold be ready for harvest within 60-90 days!
Obtaining Turnip Seeds in Animal Crossing
In Animal Crossing, turnip seeds can be acquired by purchasing turnips from Daisy Mae. Daisy Mae is a vendor who visits your island evey Sunday from 4:00 AM to 12:00 PM. To purchase turnips from her, you must have sufficient Bells (in-game currency) in your wallet. When you purchase turnips from Daisy Mae, you will receive a random amount of seeds with each purchase. The amount of seeds you receive depends on the size of the bundle you purchase – the more turnips you buy, the more seeds you will get! After collecting your turnip seeds, you can plant them in your garden and grow your own turnips!
The Value of Spoiled Turnips
Spoiled turnips will always sell for 100 Bells at Nook’s Cranny. This price is fixed and cannot be affected by price fluctuations. Spoiled turnips are generated if the player did not sell their Turnips before 5 AM on Sunday or the player time-traveled backwards.
Can Turnips be Unspoiled in Animal Crossing?
Unfortunately, no. Once turnips spoil in Animal Crossing, they are gone forever. The best way to maximize your profits when dealing with turnips is to keep changing your clock one day forward, so that they never spoil. This will allow you to potentially generate millions of bells!

Troubleshooting Poor Turnip Growth
Turnips need the right combination of soil, sunlight, and water to grow well. If your turnips are not growing, it could be due to a few different issues. Insufficient sunlight can cause slow or stunted growth. Be sure you are proviing at least 6 hours of direct sunlight per day for your turnips. Also, if the soil is too heavy or too dry, that can affect the growth of your turnips. Make sure you are providing adequate water to keep the soil slightly moist and that you are working in some organic matter to lighten up the soil if needed. Finally, if your soil is too acidic or alkaline, this can also interfere with root growth. Consider testing your soil pH to ensure it is in the optimal range for turnips (6.0-7.0).
Is It Too Late to Plant Turnips?
It depends on the climate in your area. In most areas, you can plant turnips 2 to 4 weeks before the last frost in spring and from late August to October for a fall crop. In zones 9 and 10, it is not too late to plant turnips as they can be planted throughot fall and winter. It’s important to choose a location that receives full sun and has well-draining soil. Make sure the soil is prepared properly by adding organic matter such as compost or aged manure, and then dig 12-inch deep furrows spaced 7–10 inches apart. Plant the seeds 1/2 inch deep and 1 inch apart, then cover with soil. Water regularly to keep the soil moist but not soggy. Harvest when the turnips are 2–3 inches in diameter or earlier for baby turnips.
What Plants Should Not Be Planted After Turnips?
It is best to avoid planting other root crops such as parsnips, carrots, potatoes, or beets after turnips as they will compete for the same nutrients in the soil. This can lead to stunted growth due to a lack of essential nutrients, and ultimately, a decrease in yield. Additionally, if planted too close together, these vegetables may cross-pollinate, leading to undesirable hybrid varieties. In order to maximize yield and maintain the integrity of each crop, it is best to plant different types of root vegetables in separate beds.
Do Turnip Seeds Reappear?
No, Turnip Seeds do not respawn. They can be found in the Swamp by harvesting their flowers, but once they have been picked they will not respawn.
Broadcasting Turnip Seeds: Is It Possible?
Yes, you can broadcast turnip seed to sow your crop. Broadcasting is a cost-effective method for sowing turnips, as it requires minimal equipment and labor. When broadcasting the seed, it is important to use only 2-3 pounds per acre, as the seeds are very small. Make sure to barely cover the seed with soil afer broadcasting it, as too much soil coverage can prevent the seeds from germinating. In addition, if possible, it is best to broadcast the seed onto a tilled soil that has been irrigated or rained on recently. This will help ensure that the soil covers the seeds and provides enough moisture for germination.
How to Achieve a High Turnip Price
The best way to get a high turnip price is to find and trade with other players in the Stalk Market. You can do this by visiting multiple islands each day, checking their prices and seeing who has the highest ones. Once you find someone with a good price, you can head over and sell your turnips there. Doing this on Sundays is especially beneficial as it offers higher returns than other days. Additionally, if you have friends playing Animal Crossing: New Horizons, you can coordinate with them to ensure you’re getting the highest prices availale on any given day.
Conclusion
In conclusion, turnips are a valuable commodity in Animal Crossing New Horizons and can be stored outside by burying them in the ground. To do this, sow seeds directly in the soil ¼ to ½ of an inch deep, 1 inch apart, in rows 12 to 18 inches apart. Cover seeds with not more than ½ an inch of soil and make sure to water them well and consistently. Turnips can only be purchased from Daisy Mae who visits every Sunday from 4:00 AM to 12:00 PM. With proper storage and care, turnips can be enjoyed for a long time!
