Radish French Breakfast

Crisp, crunchy, mild and sweet. Ideal for decoration - make small uneven cuts around the outside of the radish, place in iced water and it will open up into floral shapes.

Type/hardiness: Vegetable; Cropping in 30 Days

Sowing:

Radishes grow well in most soils, but prefer rich, moist free draining soils. Sow at regular intervals from early spring to early summer in well cultivated soil. Sow very thinly ½ inch deep in drills 6 inches apart.

Growing:

Thin out seedlings to 1-2 inches apart.

Aftercare:

Water during dry spells. For summer sowings choose a moist cool spot to prevent running to seed. As radishes grow so fast and use less of the soil's goodness, use them totally as a catch crop with other slower maturing produce. Harvest as soon as the roots reach reasonable size, if left too long they will become hot and woody.
