Radish Seeds

Useful gardening information

Grow radishes for a fast, easy harvest of nutritious and delicious root vegetables that can be eaten raw or cooked. They also serve as excellent companion plants, adding unique benefits like pest deterrence and acting as filler crops in garden spaces. Radishes thrive in cool weather and add unique flavor and texture to salads, stir-fries, and other dishes.
Radish is a cool-season, fast-maturing, easy-to-grow vegetable. Garden radishes can be grown wherever there is sun and moist, fertile soil, even on the smallest city lot. Early varieties usually grow best in the cool days of early spring, but some later-maturing varieties can be planted for summer use. The variety French Breakfast holds up and grows better than most early types in summer heat if water is supplied regularly. Additional sowings of spring types can begin in late summer, to mature in the cooler, more moist days of fall.
Winter radishes are sown in midsummer to late summer, much as fall turnips. They are slower to develop than spring radishes; and they grow considerably larger, remain crisp longer, are usually more pungent and hold in the ground or store longer than spring varieties.
