Radish is a healthy and tasty vegetable that is often added to dishes. In the article you will find information on how to properly grow and harvest root crops in your garden.
Landing
Experts recommend a temperature for planting seeds around 70 degrees Fahrenheit.
Higher temperatures disrupt plant growth and cause wilting.
Radishes are grown from seed both indoors and outdoors.
Before planting, loosen the soil with a fork and mix with compost.
To plant a plant in the garden, follow these steps:
- Find a spot in the garden where the radishes will receive at least six hours of sunlight per day.
- Plant the seeds in moist soil about ½ inches deep, 1 inch apart.
- Leave 12 inches between rows to allow room for leafy tops.
- At the end, water the radish seeds sparingly with water.
Care
Radishes love moist soil, so water the plant daily.
The soil should be sufficiently moist, but not waterlogged.
Harvesting
About 3 weeks after planting the seeds, the radishes are ready to harvest.
Radishes are tastiest and juiciest when they are less than 1 inch in diameter.
If the radish remains in the soil for a long time and begins to bloom, the root loses its taste and structure.
Young leafy tops of radishes and bean-shaped seed pods are also suitable for making salad.
By following the rules for planting and caring for radishes, you will get a good harvest.
