Its round roots and compact tops make it a versatile choice for both beginner and experienced gardeners seeking a reliable, fast-maturing crop.

Planting & Care
Sow Mantanghong radish seeds directly in the garden about ¼ to ½ inch deep, spacing them 2–4 inches apart in rows 12–18 inches apart. Radishes thrive in cool weather; plant in early spring or late summer for a fall crop. Keep the soil consistently moist but not waterlogged to encourage uniform root development. Thin seedlings to the recommended spacing once they are a few inches tall.
Radishes grow quickly and require minimal care. Mulch to retain moisture and suppress weeds, and water regularly during dry spells. Harvest when roots reach the desired size, typically 25–35 days after sowing, before they become overly large or woody. Succession sow every 2–3 weeks for a continuous supply.
