Planting and maintenance:
Place the seed tape directly in the ground as soon as the soil can be worked, in full sun, then cover it with a thin layer of loose soil. Maintain consistent moisture during germination to ensure even emergence. The tape provides good spacing, but light thinning can be done to achieve about 5 cm between plants. Water regularly, weed as needed, and avoid fertilizers high in nitrogen. Harvest when the roots have reached a good color and size.
