Have no idea, unless you are planting a greens only variety. Most of the time you can just broadcast the seeds in any tilled area and have more than you need. Very non demanding plant. They do need space, some varieties more than others. They do need to be 3-6 inches apart for good turnips. White egg for instance absolutely will not bulb if crowded. They do not tolerate heat, but that should not be a problem in Washington State even for spring planting.
