Harvest
Sowing & growing
Sow where they are to grow from Mar-Aug. Sow finely in shallow drills 10-15 mm deep, 20 cm between the rows. Thin seedlings to 5cm apart and sow every 2-3 weeks for constant supply. In hot weather, water regularly to prevent the roots splitting or the plants bolting.
Aftercare
Harvest when roots are young as required. Repeat sow as you harvest.
