Sowing Method

When to Sow :
• Early spring (2–4 weeks before last frost)
• Again in late summer for a fall crop
Seed Preparation :
• Soak seeds in water for 12–24 hours to speed up germination.
Direct Sowing :
• Sow seeds ½ inch (1.25 cm) deep and 1–2 inches (2.5–5 cm) apart.
• Rows should be spaced 12–18 inches (30–45 cm) apart.
• Thin seedlings to 3–4 inches (7–10 cm) apart once they emerge.

Planting

• Soil : Loose, well-draining, sandy loam enriched with compost or well-rotted manure.
• Sunlight : Full sun (at least 6 hours per day).
• Spacing : Allow space for root development and airflow to prevent disease.
• Watering : Keep soil evenly moist but not soggy—consistent moisture is key for root development.

Harvesting

Time to Maturity : 50–70 days after sowing.
When to Harvest:
• When roots are about 2–3 inches (5–7 cm) in diameter.
• Leaves can be harvested earlier as nutritious greens.
