Growing radishes in open ground

Growing radishes in open ground

Growing radishes in open ground begins in the spring at the beginning of May and ends in the last days of July. If you are a fan of early harvest, then radishes can be sown before winter! Radishes tolerate frost quite well, so there is no need to worry about this vegetable! The best soils for radishes are cultivated peatlands and clay soils!

Growing radishes in open ground requires abundant watering, but you shouldn’t think that no matter how much you water, it’s not enough, no, they’re just moisture-loving! You should also not plant radishes in the open sun, as in hot and dry weather they feel uncomfortable and can lose their many vitamins, as well as become dry and grated! But the vegetable has an extremely negative attitude towards the lack of light!

Radishes quickly grow and ripen; with proper care, the harvest period is 20-30 days from the moment it is planted in open ground.

Radishes are planted in beds prepared from last season. Usually 10 grams of seeds are sown per 1 square meter.

And of course, don’t forget to weed the beds so as not to overwhelm the crops!
