-On Sundays, look for Joan the boar and strike up a conversation.  Keep in mind she only sells turnips on Sundays.

-The price of turnips changes.  For instance, we bought ours at 109 bells per turnip.

-Joan sells turnips in bunches of 10.

-Turnips automatically rot after one week.

-Turnips will also rot if you mess with the 3DS system’s internal clock, aka time shifting.

-You can eat turnips if you feel the urge.

-Visit Reese at Re-Tail to sell your turnips.  The price goes up and down daily except Sundays when prices are not set.

-Reese will not buy turnips on Sundays.

You’re free to check the current sell price before parting with turnips.
