In My Seed Box For 2024 - Radish

   

I see these as not really needing a bed of their own but as squatters/ row markers at the end of other vegetables like Parsnips and carrots that take a time to germinate and show where they have been planted. I have two square foot gardening beds there feature surrounding the solitary items at the back that are vertical growers see posting here re square foot garden beds layouts.

With good storage conditions Radish seeds can last between 5 - 8 years and with most companies only allowing 2 - 3 years between the packing date and the sow by date, I have seeds for quite a few years to come. 

Prices are at the time of purchase and not current.

Typical Notes about Radish 
   
Suitable for indoor and outdoor growing
Sow at 4 Week intervals
Prefers a moist well drained soil in full sun

Sowing Instructions

Sow thinly, 10mm (1/2” deep) deep in drills 300mm (12inch) apart in soil which has been raked to a fine tilth. Water the ground regularly especially during dry periods.

Growing Instructions

When large enough to handle, thin out seedlings to 25mm or 1 inch apart. Keep plants cool and moist to prevent running to seed.
