Radishes develop their best roots in loose soil that allows the roots to expand easily.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eSow directly into the growing position in rows and cover lightly with soil. Keep the soil consistently moist during germination and early growth.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThin seedlings once the second set of leaves has developed, leaving around 3 to 5 cm between plants. Thinning is important as overcrowded radishes will produce smaller roots.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eKeep plants well watered, particularly during warm or dry weather. Inconsistent watering can cause radishes to become woody, dry or overly pungent.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eHarvest while the roots are young and crisp. Leaving mature radishes in the ground for too long can result in tougher roots and increased pungency.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eFor a continuous supply of fresh radishes, sow a new batch every 2 to 3 weeks throughout the suitable growing season.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe young leaves are also edible and can be added to salads or cooked as greens.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"SHOP SEEDS","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":54049354514746,"sku":null,"price":7.5,"currency_code":"AUD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0766\/3245\/7530\/files\/radish-salad-mix-raphanus-sativus-5729149.png?v=1789259287","url":"https:\/\/www.shopseeds.com.au\/products\/radish-salad-mix-raphanus-sativus","provider":"SHOP SEEDS","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
