Planting Instructions:
Seed Preparation:
No special preparation is required, but soaking seeds in water for 12 hours before planting can help speed up germination.
Sowing:
Sow seeds directly in the garden in early spring, as soon as the soil can be worked, or in late summer for a fall crop.
Plant seeds 1/2 inch deep and 2-3 inches apart in rows spaced 12-18 inches apart.
Thin seedlings to 4-6 inches apart once they have a few true leaves.
Germination:
Seeds typically germinate within 10-14 days.
Maintain soil moisture during the germination period.
Transplanting:
Direct sowing is recommended, as Scorzonera does not transplant well due to its long taproot. If starting indoors, use deep pots to avoid disturbing the roots.
Care and Maintenance:
Watering: Keep the soil consistently moist, especially during dry periods, but avoid waterlogging.
Mulching: Mulch around the plants to retain soil moisture and suppress weeds.
Weeding: Keep the planting area weed-free to reduce competition for nutrients and water.
Harvesting: Harvest roots in late fall after the first frost for the best flavor. Use a garden fork to carefully lift the roots to avoid damage.
Happy Gardening!
