Cultural Notes:

• Radishes can be grown all year, just be sure to sow spring/summer varieties vs winter varieties at the correct times. For the best flavour ensure the crop has a constant soil moisture, if allowed to dry out and get too big radishes become tough and hot.
• So we prefer spring, late summer and early autumn plantings of salad radishes and the winter radishes sown in February and March. You may have more luck and patience with the watering can than us for summer sowings. Sow seed every 2-3 weeks for continuous harvests.
• See is fast germinating and the crops are fast growing. To make use of this we sow between other crops that require more spacing. That way by the time the other plants are getting to size we have harvested and eaten the radish, allowing more room for the other crop to grow into (roots and leaf).

Harvest:

• Over mature radish will also taste tough and hot and as salad radishes are quick growing they must be harvested promptly. Winter radishes store well in the ground over winter and grow a lot larger than the salad radishes, peel off tough outer skin before use.
