SOWING: Seed directly into the vegetable garden anytime soil is workable from March to September. Cover seeds-with 1/4 inch of light soil.

SPACING: Leave 6 to 12 inches between rows. In small areas grow radishes in beds, spacing plants 2 inches apart in all directions.

THINNING: When plants are established thin to approximately 1 1/2 inches apart.

GERMINATION: Approximately a week. Keep soil moderately moist during germination.

HARVEST: When plants have formed globe roots and while they are young and tender.

Ed’s Special Advice: Treat soil to protect radishes from infestations of root insects. Sow seed every 2 to 3 weeks for continual harvest. Radishes grow best during the cooler parts of the growing season. They also prefer a somewhat rich soil and to be kept fairly moist.

SEED SAVING: Allow radishes to flower and seed pods to brown on plant. You can then hang them upside down in a paper bag and allow pods to fully ripen. Crush completely dry pods open, or when seeds are mature, the pods will open and seeds will drop. Store in cool dry place.
