Planting & Care
Sow Rido Red Radish seeds directly in the garden as soon as the soil can be worked in spring, or in late summer for a fall crop. Plant seeds about ½ inch deep and 1 inch apart in rows spaced 12 inches apart. Keep the soil consistently moist but not waterlogged. Radishes germinate quickly, often within 5–10 days. Once seedlings are a few inches tall, thin them to 2–3 inches apart to allow roots to develop properly.
Radishes prefer cool weather and may bolt in high heat. Provide regular watering to prevent roots from becoming woody or splitting. Harvest when roots are about 1 inch in diameter for best flavor and texture. For a continuous supply, sow small batches every 2–3 weeks during the growing season.
