Spacing

Single Plants: 3″ (10cm) each way (minimum)
Rows: 3″ (10cm) with 7″ (20cm) row gap (minimum)

Sow and Plant

Sow seeds directly in the bed or row, one-half inch deep and 1 inch apart. Thin to proper spacing when the seedlings are 1 week old.

Notes

Use radishes to mark divisions between sowings of salad greens or other spring vegetables.

Harvesting

Harvest round radishes when the roots are the size of a quarter. Young radishes have the best flavor, so pull them promptly.

Troubleshooting

Flea beetles often make small holes in leaves, but do not merit control.
