🌱Planting Instructions

Approx seeds per order 400

Sow directly outdoors as soon as soil can be worked and temperatures are above 45°F. Choose a deep, loose, well-draining bed free of rocks and clods. Work in compost and rake smooth for a fine seedbed to promote straight, uniform roots.

Sow seeds 1/4 inch deep in rows 12–18 inches apart. Keep the top inch of soil evenly moist during germination (10–21 days). When seedlings are 2–3 inches tall, thin carefully to 2–3 inches apart—proper spacing prevents crowding and forking.

Maintain steady moisture for the best texture and sweetness; avoid letting soil dry out between waterings. Harvest when roots reach 8–9 inches and are brightly colored. For extended harvests, succession sow every 2–3 weeks through midsummer.
