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:
-
Approx. 1 month
Harvest
-
When top of radish pokes up through the soil/ or roots are approx 2 - 3 cm above soil
-
Pull gently from soil, or loosen the surrounding soil and remove
Tip: Don’t let radishes get too big as they lose their taste and texture
