How to Sow and Plant

Direct sow seeds into well‑prepared soil after the last frost. Plant seeds about ¼–½ inch deep. Keep soil evenly moist until germination (typically 7–21 days) and thin seedlings to recommended spacing for proper root development.

How to Grow

Grow in full sun with loose, well‑drained soil enriched with organic matter. Water regularly to maintain even moisture, and mulch to suppress weeds. Thin seedlings early so roots develop straight and uniform.

Tips

Harvest when roots reach desired size (about 6–8 inches). Succession sow every few weeks for continuous harvest. Avoid overly compacted or rocky soil for best root shape.
