Growing Instructions

Thin out as soon as seedlings are large enough to handle, to 5cm (2 inches) apart. Later thinnings will be suitable for use in the kitchen.

Aftercare

Harvest from late summer into autumn. Water soil well before harvesting to aid extraction. The roots can be lifted and stored in layers of peat or sand in a frost-free place for winter use.
