yes, you either need luck to get a fair number of wild seeds or patience. I think it takes about 20 (game) days to get a 50 plant farm up and running.

I'm still Bronze Age so when I saw a single turnip plant I grabbed it and ran back to my nearby Black Forest compound. The 3 seeds are now 9 plants and it's irl bedtime :-)

I found this narrow rectangular Swamp section with Meadows, Mountain, Black Forest and Ocean on each side. I put down a base a couple of weeks ago on the Meadows side but never found any turnips but picked up a decent amount of swamp drops. I moved to the opposite side (Black Forest) several real days ago and this was the 1st sign of turnips. I mark the passage of time in this base by counting the troll heads in storage lol

Can't wait to sink my teeth into some fresh sausages (gag)
