• Planting Information:

  Care: Keep soil moist, weed free, and apply vegetable food every 4 weeks.
  Harvesting: Pick outer greens when the plants are young. Begin pulling roots when they reach 2 inches in diameter.
  Storage: Store seed in cool, dry place. Heat and moisture can severely reduce germination.
