Soaking the seeds for up to twelve hours can promote rapid germination, usually in five to seven days at temperatures between 4 and 29°C, with an optimum around 18°C. Space plants 3 to 5 cm apart and rows 20 to 30 cm apart to ensure even growth of the round roots. Autumn sowing will yield a sweet and crisp harvest around the time of the first frost.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n \u003cp data-start=\"2288\" data-end=\"2533\"\u003eProvide full sun or partial sun (level 2) and regular watering (level 2) to ensure tender flesh and prevent bolting.
