Planting & Care
Sow Early Scarlet Globe Radish seeds directly in the garden as soon as the soil can be worked in spring, or in late summer for a fall crop. Plant seeds about 1/2 inch deep and keep the soil evenly moist. Radishes grow best in cool weather and may bolt in high heat. Thin seedlings to about 1-2 inches apart to allow roots to develop properly. Water regularly to prevent the roots from becoming woody or splitting.
Radishes are relatively low-maintenance. Keep the area weed-free and monitor for common pests such as flea beetles. Harvest when roots are about 1 inch in diameter for the best flavor and texture. Successive plantings every 2-3 weeks can extend the harvest season.
