• stone free soil which has been manured for a previous crop.
• Sun or partially shade is required for the growing location.
• Sow from Feb-Apr thinly 1/2in deep with 12in between rows.
• Sowing time should be dependent on the weather to avoid particularly wet or cold spells.
• Germination rates are very dependent on weather conditions and can take up to 3 weeks.
• If little is seen after that period re-sow immediately.
• When large enough to handle thin to 6in between plants.
• Thinning’s do not transplant well.
• The crop requires little attention other than keeping weed free.
• The roots are ready for harvesting when the tops begin to die down.
• Dig as required as the roots will stand in the ground until late winter
• unless the soil become heavily water-logged.
