Swede – Best of All – 750 seeds – 10026

Description

Very hardy and easy to grow, with rich yellow flesh, smooth texture and mild flavour.

Outdoors, sow thinly, May-July, where they are to crop, 1.5cm (½”) deep, directly into finely-prepared, rich, well-dug soil, which has already been watered. Allow 45cm (18″) between rows. Seedlings usually appear in 14-21 days. Thin out to 25cm (10″) apart. Water well until plants are established. Make two or three successional sowings to provide a crop throughout the winter. Harvest: October-March.

Tip: Roots may be left in the ground until required, or lifted and stored in a cool, dry, dark place. The flesh also freezes well.
