Planting & Care
Sow Lady Slipper 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. Thin seedlings to 1-2 inches apart to allow roots to develop properly. Radishes grow quickly and benefit from consistent watering to prevent bolting and ensure tender roots.
Harvest when roots reach desired size, typically 25-30 days after sowing. For a continuous supply, sow small batches every 2-3 weeks. Avoid overwatering or allowing soil to dry out completely, as this can cause roots to crack or become woody.
