Planting Tips for Success

• Sunlight: Grow in full sun for strong foliage, root development, and attractive color.
• Soil: Prepare loose, fertile, stone-free soil enriched with mature compost. Compacted soil can cause forked or misshapen roots.
• Planting Depth: Sow pelleted seeds about 1/4 inch deep in spring or fall, following local growing conditions.
• Spacing: Place seeds carefully and thin seedlings to about 2–4 inches apart so roots have room to size up.
• Watering: Keep the seedbed consistently moist during germination, then water deeply and evenly without leaving the soil waterlogged.
• Fertilizing: Feed moderately with compost or a balanced fertilizer. Avoid excessive nitrogen, which can encourage tops at the expense of roots.
• Harvest: Begin checking roots as they develop and lift them when they reach the size, color, and tenderness you prefer.
