Practical tips to make the most of Nantes Touchon
To optimize germination and root development, prepare a loose, deep, and stone-free soil. Sow directly in the ground or in pots, at a shallow depth and ensuring to space the seeds to allow for natural thinning. Keep the soil moist during the germination period and continue to water regularly during development, avoiding prolonged dry spells.
Thin out when young plants begin to emerge to allow sufficient space for each root to form harmoniously. Regular weeding and light mulching will help limit competition and preserve soil moisture.
Harvest, preservation, and culinary uses
The maturation of Nantes Touchon generally takes about two months to several months between planting and harvesting, depending on climatic conditions and the local calendar.
