Growing Tips

For a bumper crop of Rutabaga's, midsummer is your best time to plant. They will do well in a compost or manure rich soil that is well drained but kept moist.

When the plants reach about 4 inches tall, thin to 4-6 inches apart.

Wait until the greens are 4 inches before thinning your crop, so you can use the harvested greens (instead of wasting).

Culinary Uses

Most people are unaware of how to use a Rutabaga in recipes. Believe it or not, rutabagas can be used like potatoes or other root vegetables.

Prepare rutabagas by roasting, cooking or even as a mashed root vegetable. They are also great in casseroles, soups and stews.

Harvesting Crops

Wait until after you have had several hard frosts before pulling or digging the rutabagas out of the ground. Make sure to cut the stalks down to about an inch.

Rutabagas will store for up to six months in a refrigerator.

Harvesting Seed

Rutabagas are an interested plant to harvest seed from. They do not produce seed in the same year (biennial) and must overwinter before producing seed in their second year.

If you live in a warmer climate, simply placing a layer of mulch over them for the winter will provide enough protection. However, colder climates should dig out the rutabagas and trim the tops to 1 inch. Store these rutabagas in damp sand at about 33-40 degrees until you replant them in the spring.

Once replanted, the roots will send up flowering stalks that contain your seed pods. Wait until the seed pods turn brown and remove them before they shatter. You can also dig the entire plant up and hang the whole thing upside down over a paper bag (to catch seeds that are released).

If manually removing the seeds, crush the pods and collect. Store the seeds in a cool dry place for up to four years (depending on storage method).

Comfortable and Easy to Wear Daily
Size: 2 Little Kid, Color: Navy/Blue
My daughter has been wearing these navy/blue shoes since the weather has been less rainy and more sunny. They are great for outdoor play, especially on days when it's warm outside. The knit mesh upper keeps her feet from overheating, and the cushioned insole feels supportive without being stiff. At size 2, the fit is accurate and the width runs a bit roomy, which gave her some growing room without feeling loose. The slip-on design with elastic laces and pull tabs is a real plus. She can get them on and off without any help, which she loves. The shoes are light enough that she barely notices them during long active days. My one small complaint is that the sole feels more like firm foam than rubber, so they can be a little slippery on smooth indoor floors. For the price, these deliver solid everyday value. They look good, hold up well to regular use, and my daughter reaches for them first most mornings. Pros: - Breathable mesh keeps feet cool - Easy slip-on design with elastic laces and pull tabs - Lightweight and comfortable for all-day wear - Accurate sizing with a roomy width - Durable for the price Cons: - Sole can be slippery on hard smooth surfaces - Limited outsole grip compared to rubber-soled shoes

Great kids' shoe — easy on, comfy all day
Size: 3 Little Kid, Color: Pink/Lavender
My kid has been wearing these for a few weeks now and I'm genuinely impressed with how well they've held up. The knit mesh upper keeps feet cool and comfortable during long days at school and outdoor play, and the cushioned EVA midsole does a great job absorbing impact. What really won me over is the slip-on design with elasticated laces and dual pull tabs — my child can put them on and take them off completely independently, which is a huge win. The fit is snug but not tight, and they run a bit roomy in width, which is great for kids with wider feet or those who need a little growing room. At $32, the quality feels solid for the price. Lightweight, breathable, and easy to wear — these check all the boxes for an everyday kids' shoe.

Cute, Comfortable, Light-Weight Shoes, Perfect for School
Size: 11 Little Kid, Color: Pink/Lavender, Size: 11 Little Kid, Color: Pink/Lavender
These have turned out to be great everyday shoes for my 5 year old. She normally wears a size 10, but since that size wasn’t available, I ordered the 11 expecting her to grow into them. I was pleasantly surprised that they already fit her pretty well. There’s still a little extra room in the toe area, but the shoes fit securely around her ankles so they don’t feel loose or slip off while walking or playing. She says they’re very comfortable and loves how easy they are to slip on by herself. The lightweight design is nice for everyday wear, and they’ve held up well so far despite being worn almost daily. They've become her favorite shoes to wear! Also the pink/lavender color is really pretty in person. Overall, I’m very happy with them and would order again.

Great shoe well made
Size: 13 Little Kid, Color: Pink/Lavender, Size: 13 Little Kid, Color: Pink/Lavender
Really good shoes at a fair price. My daughter loves the pink and purple gradient colors. Really beautiful. Shoes have proven themselves very durable. She's been wearing these a few times a week for the last couple months and they still look new aside from some dirt stains. Fit perfectly. Very comfortable. This is always her first pick in the morning when she's getting dressed. Good breathability you can wear these in hot summer weather without sweaty feet. Versatile shoe looks good enough to wear out and about or exercise in.
