Cultivation Advice Radish Mooli Minowase Organic
- Radishes grow best in cool, moist weather (50 – 65F/10 – 18C). Late plantings may bolt before edible root forms. Avoid sowing in the UK between Jun and Aug as plants will bolt.
- Plant outside in full sun as early as soil can be loosened and worked. Plant 1 seed every inch lightly covering with soil. These plants get large so do not sow thickly.
- When plants have 3 leaves, thin to 2 inches apart keeping weed free. Thinnings can be used for both leaves and roots.
- Best sown at 3 week intervals for a continuous harvest.
