PLANTING INSTRUCTIONSPlan a fall planting. Plant 4-6 weeks into fall before the start of the winter.Directly sow seeds ½ to an inch deep and one inch apart in rows that are 12 inches apart.Thin to about 2-inch spacings. Avoid crowding of plants together.Radishes when planted in too much shade—or even where neighbouring vegetable plants shade them—they invest all their energy into producing bigger leaves.Practise 3 year crop rotation.WATERING Radish seeds should be planted in moist soil during mid-autumn. Infrequent watering gives radishes a woody texture and a hot taste.SOIL: Radishes prefer well-drained, loose soil, high in organic matter, free from stones, with pH 5.8 to 6.8.SPOT: The crop yields best produce in full sun.TEMPERATUREIdeal temperature for germination would be 12 to 29 degree C [55 F to 85 F].
