How to Grow

Plant seed every two weeks starting in mid July and ending in mid to late August. Sow seed 1cm (1/2in) deep and 2.5cm (1in) apart in rows spaced 30cm (12in) apart. Thin seedlings to 10cm (4in) apart in the row. When harvesting roots, first use a digging fork to loosen the soil around roots then gently pull the plant from the loose ground by gripping the leaves as to the top of the roots as possible.
