Planting

How to Grow

Tuck seeds ½ inch deep into moist soil in early spring or fall.
Mist seedlings regularly to keep soil evenly moist during germination.
Thin out seedlings to 2-3 inches apart for healthy growth.
Water consistently, ensuring soil remains moist but not waterlogged.
Fertilize with a balanced vegetable garden fertilizer every 3-4 weeks.
Harvest when roots are 1.5-2 inches in diameter, typically 30-40 days after planting.

Pro Tip

Use loose, well-draining soil for crisp, tender radishes and prevent root deformities.
