Radish Seeds Sowing instructions:
Try eating a raw radish with a bit of butter and some seasoning and you have all the reasons you need to grow them. Crunchy, peppery and delicious. They are tremendously easy to grow and mature quickly, so there’s a quick return – ideal if you are just starting out. Don’t dismiss them as a one-trick veg though – there are dozens of varieties, including turnip-sized winter radishes that can be stored over the winter.

Grow
- Radish will grow in any reasonable soil.
- Water if soil dries out, but do not over water as this will encourage too much leafy growth.
Harvest
- Radish plants will be ready to eat within a month, which is one of the fastest growing times of all vegetables.
- To test if your radish is ready pull one out and test it before harvesting the rest.
- Don’t let them get too big as they become overly peppery and “woody”.
