Frequently Asked Questions

Bodegold: How often should I water during the main growth phase?

During the 6–8 weeks after germination, keep soil consistently moist but not soggy—aim for about 1 inch of water per week total, increasing slightly during heat waves. Check by feel 1–2 inches down: water when it’s dry at that depth, and stop once the top layer dries quickly after watering.

Bodegold: How can I tell when it’s ready to harvest at ~70 days?

Harvest Bodegold when heads/roots reach full size for the variety and the tops show peak vigor but start to look less glossy, with outer leaves beginning to fade slightly. For best quality, pick on a dry day and avoid waiting until foliage collapses—overmaturity can reduce texture and flavor.
