Planting Instructions:

Seed Preparation:

No special preparation is required. Swede seeds can be sown directly without any treatment.

Sowing:

Sow seeds directly into the garden bed in early spring for a summer harvest or in mid-summer for a fall harvest.
Plant seeds 1/2 inch deep and 6-8 inches apart in rows spaced 12-18 inches apart.
Ensure the soil is well-prepared with compost or well-rotted manure to provide nutrients.

Germination:

Seeds typically germinate within 7-14 days when soil temperatures are between 50-75°F (10-24°C).
Keep the soil consistently moist during the germination period.

Transplanting:

Swede plants do not transplant well due to their taproot. It is best to sow seeds directly where they will grow.
Thin seedlings to 12-18 inches apart once they have developed their first true leaves to allow for proper root development.

Care and Maintenance:

Watering: Keep the soil consistently moist, especially during dry periods, to encourage good root development and prevent cracking of roots.
Weeding: Keep the area around the plants weed-free to reduce competition for nutrients and water.
Harvesting: Swedes are ready to harvest when the roots are about 3-5 inches in diameter, usually 90-120 days after sowing.
