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.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eHarvest 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.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch2\u003eWhat's Included\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cp\u003e500 Miyashige Radish Seeds.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Blake's Flora \u0026 Soil","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":67795524354358,"sku":"FOLIA2-280","price":27.4,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0994\/4884\/8694\/files\/il_fullxfull.7231117867_19vx.jpg?v=1792671115","url":"https:\/\/blakesflora.com\/products\/500-miyashige-radish-seeds-japanese-daikon-heirloom-for-garden-planting","provider":"Blake's Flora \u0026 Soil","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
