Sowing radishes in kindergarten. My first encounter with growing vegetables. Every preschooler had a little pot with their name on it; I was proud of mine with "Tom" on it. Sowing radishes, and six weeks later, we could go home, brimming with excitement, to show off what we'd grown. I didn't like them at the time, but that's changed. The feeling in your mouth when you bite into a juicy radish is divine. Sliced radishes add bite and, above all, color to your salads. Sowing a delicious radish isn't easy; you can grow radishes that burst, or you can have ones that are woody, dry, and overly spicy. In this article, I'll give you 14 tips for sowing delicious radishes.
Radishes can be ready in 21 to 35 days, depending on the variety. It's better to sow a row every three weeks than too many at once. This way, you can harvest throughout spring and autumn. 13 sowing tips:
Tip 1: Sowing radishes - Sow radishes directly in the soil where you harvest them. Do not sow in pots or trays.
Like other root vegetables like carrots and parsnips, radishes don't thrive in transplanting or prickling. Their short growth cycle (30 to 45 days) also doesn't encourage direct sowing. Sowing radishes directly in the ground or in a large container works well.
Tip 2: Radish seeds can be used for 5 years
Radish seed packets often contain tons of radishes. Don't worry, radish seeds will keep for five years. If you run out of seeds, leave a few radishes. You'll soon see them bolt and form flowers in better weather. A seed will develop inside the flowers. Harvest the plant when the seeds have turned brown and shake it out over a bucket. This way, you'll have free new seeds to plant.
