Cultivation method:
Sow directly outdoors as soon as the soil has warmed up, at a shallow depth, in loose, well-drained soil. Maintain consistent moisture to encourage tender growth and prevent the roots from becoming fibrous. Thin to 10-15 cm apart to allow the roots to develop properly.
Sow seeds every two to three weeks to extend the harvest season. Harvest young for a milder flavor or let them mature for a firmer texture.
