Growing Instructions
- Radishes prefer loose, well-drained soil that is rich in organic matter. Prepare your garden bed by adding compost and ensuring the soil is friable.
- Sow seeds directly into the garden, as radishes do not transplant well.
- Water regularly and thin plants to allow space for the roots to grow.
- Radishes mature quickly, so check daily to avoid overgrown, tough roots.
- Harvest promptly for the best flavour and texture.
