Radishes are a cool season crop. They can sown in early spring as soon as the ground can be worked. Some varieties can also be grown as a fall crop.
Sowing Radish Seeds
Sow radish seeds outdoors in early spring or fall. Barely cover the seeds with soil. Thin to 2" apart. Keep soil consistently moist. Full sun to part shade.
