1. When to Sow Direct sow outdoors in early spring as soon as the soil can be worked, or in late summer for a fall harvest.
2. Germination Sow seeds 1/2 inch deep. Keep soil mildly moist. Germination typically occurs in 4-6 days at 50-65°F.
3. Thinning Thin seedlings to 2-3 inches apart to ensure roots have space to plunge deep and grow straight.
4. Care Keep soil consistently moist; avoid letting it dry out completely to prevent pithy, tough roots.
5. Harvesting Harvest in 25-30 days when roots are smooth, firm, and fully formed.
