How to Sow and Plant

Prepare deep, loose, stone-free soil enriched with compost. Sow seeds directly during the cool season and lightly cover with soil. Maintain consistent moisture until germination occurs. Thin seedlings once established to ensure sufficient space for straight, healthy roots.

How to Grow

Provide full sun to partial shade. Water regularly to keep soil moist but not waterlogged. Avoid compacted soil to prevent misshapen roots. Mulch lightly to retain moisture, suppress weeds, and promote even growth. Harvest when roots reach desired size.

Tips

Sow seeds in cool weather for optimal flavor and texture

Thin seedlings early for uniform root development


Use in salads, roasting, or colorful vegetable platters
