Sow directly into the ground from May to early July for a summer harvest. For a late autumn harvest, sow in mid-June. Plant seeds 1 cm deep, spacing plants 5 to 10 cm apart in the row, with 25 to 30 cm between rows.
Grow in lightly sandy, well-drained soil rich in organic matter with a pH of 6.0 or higher. Maintain constant but not excessive moisture to prevent roots from hardening.
Growing Tips:
- Thin out the plants as soon as they reach 5 cm in height to allow them to develop properly.
- Avoid associations with enemy plants such as beans and spinach.
- Harvest the roots when they reach 5 to 8 cm in diameter to ensure a tender and tasty texture. The young leaves can be eaten in salads or cooked like spinach.
