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