Planting & Care
Sow French Dressing Radish seeds directly outdoors in early spring or fall, as radishes prefer cooler weather. Plant seeds about 1/2 inch deep and keep the soil consistently moist until germination, which typically occurs within 5-10 days. Thin seedlings to the recommended spacing to allow roots to develop properly. Radishes grow quickly and benefit from regular watering to prevent the roots from becoming woody or splitting.
For a continuous harvest, sow seeds every 2-3 weeks during the growing season. Radishes are ready to harvest when the roots reach about 1 inch in diameter. Pull them promptly to avoid over-maturity. With minimal care, French Dressing Radish will reward you with colorful, crisp roots perfect for fresh eating.
