Growing Guide
Season: Cool to mild weather matched to the particular seed line.
Sowing: Direct-sow shallowly in fine, loose, stone-free soil; keep the surface moist until seedlings emerge and then thin gently.
Soil and feeding: Use a well-drained growing medium with mature compost. Feed according to crop needs, soil fertility and the fertiliser label, rather than a fixed schedule for every vegetable.
Care and Harvest Guide
Avoid transplanting roots, fresh manure and compacted soil; maintain moisture to limit splitting and poor root shape.
Lift roots when sufficiently coloured and of usable size, before they become coarse.
Follow packet depth and spacing for the actual seed line. Keep the seedbed moist, not saturated, and protect young seedlings from heavy rain.
