Days to Maturity: 21 - 28 days (Fastest crop in the garden). Days to Germination: 4 to 6 days (Optimal soil temp: 55°F - 70°F). Seeding Depth: ½ inch (1.2 cm). Row Spacing: 8 - 12 inches (20 - 30 cm). Plant Height: Foliage grows 6 – 8 inches (15-20 cm) tall; roots are 2 – 3 inches (5-7 cm) long. Growth Habit: Small, upright leafy rosette with a shallow, elongated, cylindrical taproot that swells into a colorful pink/red root with a white tip. Soil Preference: Loose, fertile, well-draining loam, free of stones and clods. pH 6.0 – 7.0. Temperature Preference: Cool weather. Best performance at 50°F - 65°F (10°C - 18°C). Will bolt (flower) and become bitter if temps exceed 75°F. Light Preference: Full Sun (minimum 6 hours) to Partial Shade. How to Plant & Grow: Site Preparation: Choose a location with full sun to light shade. Radishes need loose, fertile, well-draining soil. Remove all rocks and clods from the top 6 inches (15 cm) of soil. These short-rooted radishes don't need super deep soil. Sowing: Direct sow seeds outdoors as soon as the soil can be worked in early spring, and succession sow every 7-10 days for a continuous harvest. Plant seeds ½ inch (1.2 cm) deep and cover lightly with fine soil. Keep the soil consistently moist until germination (4-6 days). Spacing: For Straight, Plump Roots: Thin seedlings to 2 inches (5 cm) apart in rows spaced 8 to 12 inches (20-30 cm) apart. Square Foot Gardening (SFG): Plant 16 radishes per 1-square-foot area (4 rows x 4 rows, spaced 3 inches apart). Watering: Keep the soil consistently moist. Provide about 1 inch of water per week. Dry soil will cause the roots to become tough, harsh, and split. Harvesting: Do not wait too long! The roots are ready when they are 1.5 to 2 inches long and poke slightly out of the soil. Gently grasp the base of the leaves and pull them up. If left in the ground too long, they will become woody and develop a harsh, spicy taste. Gardener's Tip: Plant them as a "Row Marker" crop! Because they germinate and grow so fast, many gardeners plant Radish seeds mixed into rows of slow-growing carrots or parsnips. The radishes will pop up first, marking the row so you know exactly where to weed, and you can harvest them right before the main crop needs the space! Planting Calendar: Spring Crop: Direct Sow: March to May (Every 7-10 days). Harvest: April to June. Fall Crop (Sweetest Flavor): Direct Sow: August to September. Harvest: September to October. Mild Winter Zones (USDA 9-11): Can be sown from October to February for winter harvests.
