Radish long red seeds How to grow Under optimal growing conditions, radishes offer: Dietary Fiber, Chromium, Manganese, Riboflavin, Vitamin C, B6, Calcium, Magnesium, Folate, Copper, Potassium Growing Radish plants can be done in nearly any climate. However, they need at least 6 hours of sunlight a day, or you'll likely have all radish tops and no root bulbs. Plant your radish garden in a shady, moist location. Growing radish plants works best in a spot that has been prepared with a fertilizer, compost, or well-rotted manure in the previous season The secret to success in growing radish plants is to have fine, rich, friable (loose and crumbly) garden soil. This allows the roots to grow quickly, providing the best texture and flavor. Rake the soil several times to break up clumps. The ideal garden soil pH for radishes is between 6.0 and 7.0. Planting When growing radish plants, we recommend not planting a large radish crop all at the same time (unless you're gardening for profit and can dispense large quantities of radishes quickly). It's far better to plant small crops of radishes every 2 weeks. This way you keep a constant supply of fresh radishes at their peak in taste for your family. Plant radish seed in the garden as soon as the garden soil can be reasonably worked. Plant them very shallowly in the garden soil, only OE? deep, 1/2" appart, with 6" between rows. You should expect to see seedlings appear in about 2 weeks. Once you see a 2nd set of leaves, thin the plants to 2? apart, so they have plenty of room to grow (they don't like to be crowded!) Watering Keep soil moist but not soggy during the growing stage.
