- Timing: Plant Red Radish Seeds directly in the garden as soon as the soil can be worked, typically in early spring or late summer for a fall crop.
- Soil Preparation: Choose well-draining soil enriched with organic matter. Ensure the soil is loose, friable, and free from stones to allow radishes to develop properly.
- Sowing Method: Sow radish seeds directly into the prepared soil, spacing them approximately 1 inch apart in rows spaced about 12-18 inches apart. Plant the seeds ½ inch deep, covering lightly with soil.
- Sunlight and Watering: Ensure the planted area receives full sun for at least 6-8 hours daily. Keep the soil consistently moist but not waterlogged, especially during germination.
- Thinning: Once the seedlings have sprouted and developed their first true leaves, thin them to 2-3 inches apart to allow ample space for bulb development.
- Maintenance: Radishes generally require minimal care. Water consistently, keep the area weed-free, and watch for signs of pests or diseases.
- Watering and Mulching: Keep the soil evenly moist, avoiding waterlogging. Apply mulch around plants to retain moisture and deter weeds.
- Harvesting: Red Radishes mature relatively quickly, typically within 20-30 days. Harvest them when they reach a desirable size, usually about 1-1.5 inches in diameter.
