  • Sow small amounts every 2 weeks between March and August to avoid a glut!
  • Dig the soil, remove all weeds and make ½ inch deep trench. Sow seeds 1 inch apart and cover seeds with soil and then use cold water in the trench.
  • Harvest roots after 4 weeks to avoid woodiness. Leaves can be harvested to add to salads etc.
  • Winter cultivars can be sown in July-August and harvested as late as November!
  • Eat young leaves on sandwiches or salads.
  • Add roots to salads, chutneys or braised and roasted etc.
