Planting & Care

Sow Minowase Daikon seeds directly in the garden about 1/2 inch deep and 1 inch apart, thinning to 6-12 inches apart to allow room for root development. Radishes thrive in cool weather; plant in early spring or late summer for a fall harvest. Keep the soil evenly moist to prevent roots from becoming woody or splitting.

Regular watering and weed control are important for healthy growth. Harvest when roots reach desired size, typically 50-60 days after sowing. For a continuous supply, succession plant every 2-3 weeks.
