How to Grow and Care for Fruit Radish Seeds
Planting:
- Sowing Seeds: Plant fruit radish seeds directly into the soil about 1/2 inch deep, spaced 1 inch apart. If planting in rows, space the rows 6-8 inches apart.
- Location: Choose a sunny location with well-draining, loose soil. Radishes grow best in full sun but can tolerate partial shade, especially in hot climates.
Growth Conditions:
- Soil Requirements: Fruit radishes prefer loose, well-draining soil with a pH of 6.0 to 7.0. The soil should be rich in organic matter but not overly fertilized, as excessive nutrients can lead to poor root development.
- Watering: Keep the soil consistently moist, but not waterlogged. Radishes require regular watering to keep the roots tender and prevent them from becoming woody.
- Temperature: Radishes thrive in cooler weather, with ideal growing temperatures between 50°F and 70°F (10°C to 21°C). They can tolerate light frosts but are best planted in early spring or late summer for fall harvests.
Care and Maintenance:
- Thinning: Thin seedlings to 2-3 inches apart to ensure proper root development and prevent overcrowding.
- Weeding: Regularly remove weeds to prevent competition for nutrients and water.
- Mulching: Apply mulch around the base of the plants to retain moisture, keep the soil temperature steady, and reduce weed growth.
Harvesting:
- Timing: Fruit radishes typically mature in 25 to 30 days, depending on growing conditions and variety. Check the radishes regularly to avoid them becoming overgrown and woody.
- Technique: Gently pull radishes from the soil when they are of the desired size, usually when they are about 1 to 2 inches in diameter.
- Storage: Freshly harvested radishes can be stored in the refrigerator for up to 1-2 weeks. For longer storage, you can pickle or preserve them.
