About 90% of the root mass is in the upper 20–30 cm (8–12 in) of soil; some lateral roots can penetrate up to 2 m (6 + 1 ⁄ 2 ft) deep. [6] The inflorescence is an unbranched and indeterminate terminal raceme measuring 50–100 cm (20–40 in) tall, [6] with flowers that are yellow or white.
Root, tuber and bulb crops — like carrots, beets, radishes, potatoes and onions — need more water once crops have “set” in the soil, but they still need to grow a thickness to them.

Red cabbage prefers climates that remain moist and cool for most of its vegetative growth stage, so it can be placed in the ground shortly after the last frost while the spring is still cool. The cabbage plants can be spaced about 30–65 cm (12–26 in) from one another. They will need watering often but are otherwise low-maintenance plants. [8]
Since glacial till is highly fertile soil, agriculture on the glacial till plains is very productive. The region has gently rolling moraine hills left over from the retreating glaciers, as well as small sandy ridges , which were formed as coastal dunes during periods in which Lake Erie was higher than it is today (14,000-12,000 years ago).
