Soil maintenance: happy with some regular hoeing and weeding. Watering: in case of drought.
Harvest: from the end of summer and all winter.
Storage: Resistant to extreme cold, it is best to leave them in the ground and harvest them as you go of its needs, so the flesh will be of better quality. Kept out of the ground, the roots become woody. Before extreme cold, to prevent the soil from hardening under the effect of frost, you can mulch them or cover them with leaves. If you still prefer to harvest them, you can keep them in a box filled with sand.
This crop is very well suited to the climate of Brittany.
