These easy-to-grow radishes make an attractive and productive addition to kitchen gardens, raised beds, and container plantings.

Planting & Care
Sow Watermelon Radish seeds directly in the garden about 1/4 to 1/2 inch deep in loose, well-drained soil. Thin seedlings so roots have room to develop, and keep the soil consistently moist for even growth. Radishes grow best in cooler weather, so plant in early spring or late summer for a fall crop.
Water regularly and avoid letting the soil dry out completely, as uneven moisture can affect root quality. Harvest when roots reach a usable size, and pull them promptly to avoid overmaturity. Mulching can help retain soil moisture and moderate temperature swings.
