Planting Directions: Plant seed ½” deep in loose soil. Sow seed after the soil has thoroughly warmed, 65˚ to 75˚ is best. Soil needs to be worked to a depth of 2 ft to accommodate the long tap roots. Incorporate compost or general garden fertilizer when working the soil. Thin to 4-6” when seedlings are 3” tall. Water moderately taking care not to over water. Spring planted roots should be ready in 2-3 months. Fall plantings are harvested in early spring. Dig deeply with a spade or potato fork until a gentle tug frees the loosened roots.
