The easiest and quickest vegetable to grow! Other than avoiding heavy clay or very sandy soil, radishes are not fussy. Sow early varieties in a sunny site as soon as the ground is workable in the spring – winter radishes are generally sown in mid-summer.
The roots of this radish grow to about 8in -12in long and 2in across. They are white-skinned, smooth, and if timed to grow during cool weather, very mild and crisp. Usually harvested during fall and winter. Use fresh, cooked, in soups, stir-fried or pickled.

Direct-sow seed several weeks before the last spring frost date as seedlings are hardy. Choose a sunny location and a fertile, well-drained soil. Seed again in late summer to mature during cool fall weather. Improve clay and sandy soils with compost.
