Planting – Sow seed pieces 2-3 inches deep. Leave 12-15cmcm between plants in rows 3 feet apart. Hill plants when they are 1 foot tall, by hoeing up 6-8 inches of soil around the plant.

Growing – Hill plants once they begin to emerge from the soil.  Continue to pull dirt up around the plants as they grow.  Keep the soil moist, but not overly saturated during the growing season.  Containers may need daily watering.
