for the turnips i went around to the back of the house to a bed i cleared last season...again i turned in compost along a row about ten feet long and a foot or so wide...i planted ans many seeds as i could fit in there with around four inches of space between each one so i won't have to do so much thinning ( it is a back yard garden so i don't have to be as exact as the campus garden...and nothing in nature arranges itself in neat rows either )...doused the thoroughly with the hose and marked off the row with some string to ( hopefully ) remind people not to walk there...turnips are pretty low maintenance...now we wait.
