Easy to grow
Uniform .75-1" roots
Planting depth: 1/4-1/2 inch
Plant spacing: for garden radishes 1 inch for daikon 4-6 inches. Thin if necessary to ensure even sizing.
Row Spacing: For garden radishes 8-12 inches, for daikon 12-16 inches.
When to Sow: Radishes can be direct seeded as soon as soil can be worked and are best adapted to the cooler temperatures and shorter day-length of spring and fall. Optimal soil temperature for germination is 65-85 degrees F. Seedlings emerge within a few days. Plant every 10 days for a continual supply. Winter radishes should be planted to mature around fall frost date.
Harvest radishes on time as they do not hold well in the field, especially in warm weather when roots tend to become pithy and pungent.
