Radish sowing - the timing is important

As soon as the ground is free of frost, radishes can be sown at temperatures of around 10 ° C. The radish seeds are about 3 millimeters in size, brown and egg-shaped. You can pick them up individually and sow them in doses. These are fast growing spring varieties.

Planting radishes - this is how it works in the garden and on the balcony

Anyone who values convenient, gardener-quality sowing can buy ready-made seed bands. This automatically maintains the correct distance when sowing.

So that the freshly sown grows into powerful plants, it is advisable to use seed compost. Compared to potting soil, it hardly contains any nutrients. When the seedlings receive fewer nutrients initially, they form stronger roots for nutrient supply.

Prepare the soil for sowing radishes

Radishes want an airy, moist soil. Therefore ventilate the soil and let the wind evaporate the earth. If it crumbles in your hand, it's perfect for sowing radishes. Now it offers enough oxygen for germination.

Good to know: radishes need a lot of light. Therefore only sow in light, partially shaded areas. Maintain a row spacing of 10 centimeters. And leave at least 4 inches of space between the seeds. Shallow sowing in grooves 1 centimeter deep will shape the tubers more evenly. If the seed is too deep, the tubers grow misshapen and elongated.

Keep radishes well and evenly moist after growing. It takes about four to eight weeks from sowing to harvest. Ideally, only gradually sow as much as you actually eat. Then there are fresh garden radishes all season long.

Radish sowing even without a garden bed
