Growing Guide
Direct sow seeds ¼–½ inch deep in well-drained, loose soil as soon as the ground can be worked in spring, or 4–6 weeks before first fall frost. Thin seedlings to 2 inches apart for best root development. Keep soil evenly moist — inconsistent watering can cause cracking or pithiness. Harvest promptly when roots reach ¾–1 inch in diameter to maintain tender texture and flavor.
