in the ground, in bucket
Sow in terrines under a light shelter. Cover seeds lightly. Transplant into individual cups when plants have 3 to 4 leaves, so that the roots can develop hair. Plant out after the last frosts, at the 5-6 leaf stage, 40 cm apart in all directions. For sowing in the open ground, sow lightly, in rows 40 cm apart. Thin to 40 cm along the row.
In mild climates, autumn sowing is possible, as rutabaga can withstand frosts below -10°C. The roots can be harvested as needed, and keep better when left in the ground.
