Sow radish seeds in well-worked soil after danger of frost in early spring, again in late summer for fall crop. In frost free areas, sow in the fall. Sow thinly in rows about 6" apart. Cover with 1/2" of fine soil; firm lightly and keep evenly moist.
Simply so, how long does it take to grow white radishes?
about 60 days
- Instead of sowing radish seeds in seed trays, plant them directly in the desired pots.
- Sow the seeds 1/4 or 1/2 inch deep and 1 inch apart into the potting medium and gently cover them back with the mix.
- Between 3 to 10 days, the seeds will germinate, and tiny plants will emerge.
Likewise, people ask, how do you know when white radishes are ready?
Radishes will be ready to harvest quite rapidly, as soon as three weeks after planting for some varieties. For most varieties, harvest when roots are approximately 1 inch in diameter at the soil surface. Pull one out and test it before harvesting the rest!
Growing radishes in a container is only part of the story. Radish seeds will germinate quickly and show some green growth within a week. Once the greens reach a few inches in height, thin the young plants so they are about one inch apart. Radishes prefer cool soil, so start your container garden early in spring.
