How to grow radishes: the fastest vegetable to start with
Radishes usually have a short cycle. Sow them in their final pot and use the variety's guidance to know when to start checking the size of the roots.
Sow and thin
Embrapa, Brazil's agricultural research agency, recommends furrows of about 1 to 1.5 cm for growing in small spaces. Spread the seeds, water gently and thin once the seedlings are firm.
Harvest a test root
Near the time shown on the packet, pull one radish. If it is still thin, keep an eye on moisture and wait a few days. Sow again every so often if you want to harvest in small batches.
