Sowing & Growing
To sow Swede Marian seeds, start by preparing the soil in a sunny or partially shaded area of the garden. Loosen the soil with a fork, removing any weeds or stones, and rake the surface to create a fine tilth.
Next, sow the seeds thinly in rows, spacing them about 30cm apart. Cover the seeds with a layer of fine soil, gently firming it down with the back of the rake. Water the area lightly to settle the soil around the seeds.
Swede Marian seeds are best sown in late spring or early summer, when the soil has warmed up and there is no longer a risk of frost. In cooler climates, it may be necessary to sow the seeds in early spring and protect the seedlings from frost with a cloche or other covering.
Once the seedlings have emerged, thin them out to leave one plant every 15cm or so. Water the plants regularly, especially during dry spells, and keep the area around them weed-free.
Swede Marian plants take around 90 days to mature, so they are usually ready to harvest in late summer or early autumn. Look for swollen roots just above the soil surface, and use a fork to carefully lift them from the ground. Trim off any leaves or stems and store the swedes in a cool, dark place until you are ready to use them.
