Radishes are one of the easiest vegetables to grow. They do best
when grown durng cool weather with plenty of moisture. Under these
conditions they grow rapidly and produce crisp, tender roots. Many
varieties are available that mature about 25 days from seeding. Make
several small plantings at 1- to 2-week intervals to ensure a continuous
harvest. Plant radishes about 1/2 inch deep. After emergence,
thin the plants to approximately 1 inch apart. If radishes are allowed
to become overly mature, especially during high temperatures, a hot, bitter
flavor often occurs. |
