40 days. Raphanus sativus. Open Pollinated. The plant produces high yields of 9" long red radishes. They are crisp and flavorful. It looks more like a carrot than a radish. It tastes better and sweetest in cooler conditions in spring and late autumn. Excellent for salads, vegetable platters, and garnishes. Replant every two weeks for a continuous crop. Excellent choice for home gardens and market growers. An heirloom variety from Italy.

Radish Seed Planting Information:

Plant seeds outdoors directly in the garden as soon as the soil can be worked. Radish roots do not grow well in hot summer, so plant early spring or in the fall. Plant successive plantings every few weeks to have a steady supply of radishes. Plant 3 - 4 weeks before last frost in spring, and 6 weeks before first frost in fall. Plants are 2" to 6" tall.

Soil Requirements:

Requires loose fertile soil in a well drained location in the garden. Apply much and grass clippings, or straw around base of plant.

Water Requirements:

Keep soil uniformly moist and from drying out.

Fertilizer Requirements:

Use RootBlast, Vegetable Alive, and Slow Release Fertilizer when transplanting outdoors. Periodically apply Miracle Gro.

Harvest Tips:

Dig or pull roots when they are mature. If left in ground too long, they will crack and taste bitter.
