PRODUCT DESCRIPTION:

Plant in late Winter or early Spring for a spring crop or in the late Summer for a Fall or Winter crop. Scatter the seeds and rake them in or plant them thickly in a straight, narrow line. Cover the seeds about 1/2 in. deep. Very thick stands will have to be thinned to allow for good root formation. To ensure good germination and emergence, frequent, light watering may be needed.

If the weather is dry, irrigation during the root development stage will give the best quality roots.
