Radish, Raphanus Sativus, Is An Herbaceous Annual Or Biennial Plant In The Family Brassicaceae, Grown For Its Edible Taproot. The Radish Plant Has A Short Hairy Stem and A Rosette (Ground Level Horizontal and Circular Leaves) Of Oblong Shaped Leaves Which Measure 5–30 Cm (2–12 In) In Length. Directly Sow Seeds Outdoors ½ To 1 Inch Deep and 1 Inch Apart In Rows 12 Inches Apart. Plant Another Round Of Seeds Every 10 Days Or So—While Weather Is Still Cool—For A Continuous Harvest Of Radishes In The Late Spring And Early Summer. Plan On A Fall Planting. This Radishes To About 2 Inches Apart When The Plants Are A Week Old. Crowded Plants Do Not Grow Well. Consistent, Even Moisture Is Key. Keep Soil Evenly Moist But Not Waterlogged. Putting A Thin Layer Of Mulch Around The Radishes Can Help Retain Moisture In Dry Conditions.
