500 Miyashige Radish Seeds – Japanese Daikon Heirloom for Garden Planting
$27.40
Miyashige radish is a traditional Japanese daikon prized for its long, crisp white roots and mild, sweet flavor. This heirloom variety produces uniform, cylindrical roots that grow straight and smooth, making them a favorite for fresh eating, pickling, and cooking. The tender greens are also edible and can be used in salads or stir-fries. Miyashige radish is easy to grow and performs well in cool weather, making it a valuable addition to spring and fall gardens.
Whether you are growing for market or home use, these seeds offer reliable germination and vigorous growth. The roots typically reach 12 to 18 inches in length and 2 to 3 inches in diameter when mature. Miyashige is known for its adaptability and resistance to bolting, allowing for a longer harvest window. Plant in loose, well-drained soil to accommodate the long roots.

Planting & Care
Sow Miyashige radish seeds directly in the garden about 2-4 weeks before the last frost in spring, or in late summer for a fall crop. Plant seeds ½ inch deep and 1 inch apart, thinning to 6-12 inches apart once seedlings are established. Keep the soil consistently moist but not waterlogged to prevent splitting. Radishes benefit from regular watering and a layer of mulch to retain moisture and suppress weeds.
Harvest roots when they reach desired size, typically 50-60 days after sowing. For best flavor, harvest before they become overly large or woody. The greens can be harvested earlier for fresh use. Miyashige radish is relatively pest-resistant but watch for flea beetles and cabbage worms. Rotate crops to avoid soil-borne diseases.
