Planting and Care Instructions
Sow seeds as early as the ground can be worked. After planting, press down, covering the soil firmly. It performs best in full sun and well-drained soil. When the tops are about 6 inches tall, pull plants until the roots are 4 inches apart. Harvest when roots are 3 inches in diameter.
