«Opoljanka» - Organic Radish Seeds

An early variety, ripens in 18-23 days. Roots are oval-cylindrical. The flesh is dense, white, juicy. Radish is resistant to high temperatures and cracking. Suitable for spring, summer and autumn growing. Radish root crops are round, 2-3 cm in diameter, red with white tender flesh.

Radishes are cool-season vegetables that produce the smaller, sweeter vegetables in spring. There are early season and late season varieties of radish. Start the late season radishes in late summer to early fall for a crop of larger, more pungent globes. Radish seed germination does not require any special pre-treatment and will occur when the seeds are sown on top of the soil or with just a dusting of cover.

Container gardening radishes requires a wide gallon pot and well-drained soil with rich organic amendments. Use a vegetable starter mix, or make your own with a combination of compost and peat mixed with a small amount of sand or other grit. Mix in a vegetable fertilizer before planting to jump start root growth after radish seed germination. Ensure that the pot you choose has a good drainage hole and use unglazed pots that encourage evaporation of excess moisture. If you use a saucer, make sure it is not filled with water constantly.
