Sowing Instructions

 

Sow seeds indoors from March to April in seed trays filled with fine seed compost. Cover seeds lightly and keep trays at 18-21°C to encourage germination. Prick out seedlings into individual pots when large enough to handle.

 

Harden off plants gradually before transplanting outdoors in late spring, spacing them 30-40 cm apart in well-prepared soil.

 

Keep plants well-watered, and remove side shoots to encourage bulb development. For best results, earth up around the base of the plant as it grows.

 

Harvest as needed from late autumn through winter, enjoying a steady supply of this delicious and versatile root vegetable.
