Growing Information

Maturity: Fast-maturing variety that is typically ready for harvest in about 25-30 days after sowing.

Growing Conditions: Thrives in well-drained, fertile soil with a pH range of 6.0 to 7.0. Prefers cooler temperatures and can be grown in early spring or fall.

Light Requirements: Requires full sun but can tolerate partial shade.

Watering: Needs consistent moisture to prevent the roots from becoming woody. Ensure the soil is kept evenly moist but not waterlogged.

Planting Instructions

Sowing Depth: Sow seeds about 1/2 inch deep.

Spacing: Space seeds about 1 inch apart in rows that are 12 inches apart to allow adequate room for growth.

Thinning: Thin seedlings to 2-3 inches apart when they are about 1 inch tall to promote healthy root development.

Succession Planting: For a continuous harvest, sow seeds every 2-3 weeks during the growing season.

Maintenance

Weeding: Keep the planting area free of weeds to reduce competition for nutrients and water.

Fertilization: Apply a balanced, all-purpose fertilizer at planting time and side-dress with compost or organic fertilizer as needed.

Pest and Disease Control: Monitor for common pests such as aphids and flea beetles. Use organic pest control methods or insecticidal soap if necessary. Radishes are generally disease-resistant but can be susceptible to root rot in poorly drained soils.

Harvesting

Timing: Harvest radishes when they are about 1 inch in diameter for the best flavor and texture. Larger radishes may become pithy and less flavorful.

Method: Gently pull radishes from the soil, taking care not to damage the roots. Rinse off any soil and trim the tops before storing.

Storage: Store harvested radishes in the refrigerator, where they can stay fresh for up to two weeks.

Culinary Uses
