Days to germinate 4-10 days
Days to harvest 25-55 days

Nutritional benefits

  • Beet, radish, kohlrabi, and celery greens add fiber and fresh crunch.
  • Beet and radish greens are especially useful leafy harvests in small indoor systems.
  • Celery contributes crisp texture and works best as a fresh accent rather than a large indoor crop.

Growing tips

  • Thin seedlings early because crowded plants stay small.
  • Harvest leaves lightly if you also want roots or swollen stems to develop.
  • Keep moisture steady; dry swings can make stems tougher or roots less even.
