Planting & Care
Sow Crimson Giant radish seeds directly in the garden about 1/2 inch deep and 1 inch apart. Thin seedlings to 2-4 inches apart to allow roots to develop properly. Radishes prefer cool weather, so plant in early spring or late summer for a fall crop. Keep the soil evenly moist to prevent roots from becoming woody or splitting. Radishes grow quickly and are ready to harvest in about 30 days. For a continuous supply, sow seeds every 2-3 weeks during the growing season.
Radishes are relatively low-maintenance but benefit from regular watering and weed control. Avoid letting the soil dry out completely, as this can cause the roots to become tough. Harvest when roots are about 1-2 inches in diameter for the best flavor and texture. Crimson Giant radishes can be stored in the refrigerator for several weeks.
