These are high yielding, in limited space.

An excellent catch crop throughout the season.

Sowing & Growing

For early glasshouse growing sow January-March. Sow maincrop March-August. Sow late glasshouse crop September-October.

Sow radishes thinly outdoors in drills 15cm apart, thinning the seedlings to 3cm apart within the row soon after emergence, watering ground well before and after seed emergence.

Birds are often a nuisance so protect the crop. Keep the weeds at bay and keep ground moist otherwise roots can become woody and peppery. Radishes like fertile moist soil, with regular watering in dry periods to keep the soil moist for rapid growth.

Harvest

Summer varieties are ready for harvest when they are the diameter of a 10p piece. It is best to lift them in November and store in the same way as carrots.
