Cultivation method

Sow directly in the ground from early spring, then until the end of summer for a spread harvest. The seeds should be buried 1 cm deep , in rows spaced 15 cm apart. Thin out the young shoots to 2-3 cm to encourage their proper development. Regular watering , without excess, is essential to prevent the radishes from becoming fibrous or too prickly. Harvest begins in 25 to 30 days , when the radishes reach their ideal size and retain their crunch.
