Organic Radish

How To Grow

Sowing/Planting Seeds Indoors

Radishes don’t do well being transplanted, so plant them directly where they will grow to maturity
They can grow successfully in partial shade or sun, but try to have them in a sheltered spot.
Best to sow a small number of seeds regularly (every 21 days or so) to have a continual crop over the following months
Place the seed into the soil and cover with approx. 1cm of soil.
Sow seeds 5cm apart.
Press gently down on soil to firm soil and gently water.
Keep the soil weed free, ensuring you don’t damage plant in the process
Ensure soil remains moist, don’t allow to dry out.
To encourage growth and deter pests, feed every 6 weeks or so with organic fertiliser (e.g. dried milled seaweed fertiliser, sachets available on sow.ie)

Growing Time:

Harvest

Tip: Don’t let radishes get too big as they lose their taste and texture
