Growing Instructions
As soon as the seedlings are large enough to handle start thinning them out so that they are finally 10cm (4in) apart. The last thinnings should provide tender roots just large enough to be used.
Aftercare Instructions
Harvest late summer autumn. The roots can be lifted and stored between layers of peat or sand in a frost free place for winter use
