Bring a classic touch to your garden with Cherry Belle Radish Seeds from Patriot Seeds. Here are some highlights:
Plant after the danger of frost has passed in the early spring. For fall radishes, plant in late summer.
Sow radish seeds thinly in rows about 6 inches apart and cover with 1/2 an inch of topsoil.
Plant in full sun and space plants 2 to 4 inches apart. Keep soil evenly moist and lightly firm it over the seeds.
Keep weeds under control and moisture continuous to promote growth. Grow time is about 25 days.
About 25 days after planting, you can pull spring radishes. Push back the soil to check for bulbs and give a couple radishes a taste-test to check if they are ready. Finish your harvest before warmer weather arrives.
For storage, cut the tops off the radishes and keep in a plastic bag at a temperature between 32°F and 40°F. The radishes can last in the refrigerator for up to 3 weeks.
Radish crops were originally grown in China and spread throughout the Northern Hemisphere throughout the 1500s. By 1629, they had reached North America, arriving in Massachusetts.
