Planting Information:
When and where to plant: Choose a sunny location, cultivate the soil, and plant in early spring as soon as the soil can be worked. Continue planting every two weeks until early summer. Start successive plantings again in late summer. Firm the soil over the seed and keep it moist.
Care: Keep soil moist and weed-free, and apply vegetable food every 4 weeks.
Harvesting: Pick outer greens when the plants are young. Begin pulling roots when they reach 2 inches in diameter.
Storage: Store seed in cool, dry place. Heat and moisture can severely reduce germination. -
