Radish mix

Raphanus sativus

Crisp radishes on seed tape. Attractive color mix with three different round varieties in white (Alba), yellow (Zlata) and violet (Viola). Ripens at different times. Consistent moisture keeps the flavor from being too sharp and promotes the formation of nice, round radishes. Thrives in loose, humus-rich soil.

Rich in vitamin C and potassium.

Thrives best in loose, moisture-retaining soil. Water abundantly. Harvest while young, 28-32 days after germination. Repeat sowings at 2-week intervals to extend the harvest period. Radishes are fast growing vegetables that can be grown between e.g. lettuce, cabbage and squash - they can be harvested before the other plants spread out.

Radishes are best grown in the cooler temperatures of Spring and Autumn, they can be quick to bolt in hot weather.

Direct sowing: Early, as soon as the soil is workable to April. Water before sowing and keep the seed moist until germination. Cover the seed with fiber cloth to avoid early insect attacks on the seedlings. Thin seedlings as needed, radishes will not grow well if they are too crowded.

Spacing: 2-3 cm / 3-4 plants per GreenStalk pocket. Or companion plant them in the "corners" of GreenStalk pockets alongside primary plants in middle.

Days to harvest: 30-40 after germination

Location: Sun to partial shade

Number of seeds: 5m seed tape
