Radishes grow well in most soils, but prefer rich, moist free draining soils. Sow in well cultivated soil. Sow very thinly.
Growing Instructions
Thin out the seedlings to 3-5cm apart.
Aftercare Instructions
Water during dry spells. For summer sowings choose a moist cool spot to prevent running to seed. As radishes grow so fast and use less of the soil's goodness, use them totally as a catch crop with other slower maturing produce. Harvest as soon as the roots reach reasonable size, if left too long they will become hot and woody.
