Growing Instructions

Sunlight: Full sun to light partial sun supports strong root development.

Soil: Use deep, loose, stone-free soil so roots can expand without distortion.

Watering: Keep evenly moist during germination and root enlargement, avoiding severe wet-dry swings.

Sowing Depth: Sow shallowly, generally about one-quarter to one-half inch deep depending on crop.

Spacing: Thin seedlings to crop-appropriate spacing so roots have room to size properly.

Germination: Under suitable cool to mild conditions, many root vegetables germinate in five to twenty-one days.

Harvesting Time: Harvest when roots reach the desired usable size and before they become overly woody or pithy.

Days to Harvest: Days to harvest vary widely, commonly from about thirty days for small radishes to more than eighty days for larger roots.

Plant Height: Top growth is usually compact to moderate while the edible portion develops below ground.

Care Tips: Avoid fresh heavy manure, thin promptly, and keep the soil surface from crusting during germination.
