Growing Information
For early crops sow March-early April. For use in summer and autumn make successional sowings from late April to July. Store roots in dry sand, soil, or peat for winter use. (12-16 weeks maturity.)
Sowing Information
For container growing - sow thinly direct into the compost. For raised beds try sowing in 30cm (12") deep. Germination can take 10-14 days. As the seedlings emerge, remove spare seedlings to leave one per station. Thus you will have finally 9 plants per square. Alternatively sow in rows 30cm (12") apart.
