How to grow

Sow seeds directly into loose, well-drained soil, spacing them so roots can develop fully. Plant outdoors in early spring or late summer for fall harvests. Keep soil consistently moist, especially during germination. For indoor growing, choose deep containers and provide bright light. Harvest roots when they reach the desired size, and enjoy greens whenever they are tender and fresh.
