Selecting a Location: Choose a sunny or partially shaded spot with well-draining soil rich in organic matter.
Preparing the Soil: Amend soil with compost or well-rotted manure, and remove any debris.
Planting Seeds: Sow watermelon radish seeds about ½ inch deep and 1 inch apart in rows, with 12 inches between rows. Thin them once they germinate.
Watering: Keep the soil moist but not waterlogged. Water regularly, especially in dry periods, for even germination.
Thinning: Thin seedlings to 4-6 inches apart once they develop their first true leaves. Use the thinned seedlings in salads.
Maintenance: Keep the area weed-free, and apply mulch to retain moisture and prevent weeds.
Harvesting: Watermelon radishes are ready 60-70 days after planting, when they reach 2-4 inches in diameter. Loosen the soil and gently pull them out, trimming the greens.
Enjoying: Watermelon radishes are delicious raw, pickled, or roasted, adding vibrant color to dishes.
Timing: Best grown in cooler weather, spring or fall, with temperatures between 50°F to 70°F (10°C to 21°C). Avoid planting in summer heat.
Soil Preparation: Watermelon radishes prefer soil with a pH of 6.0-7.0. Work the soil 6-8 inches deep and incorporate compost.
Spacing: Plant seeds ½ inch deep and 1 inch apart, thinning to 4-6 inches once seedlings emerge.
Watering: Water deeply, but avoid overhead watering to reduce fungal risk. Keep soil consistently moist.
Sunlight: Watermelon radishes need at least 6 hours of sunlight daily.
Mulching: Mulch to retain moisture, suppress weeds, and maintain consistent soil temperature.
Successive Plantings: Plant every few weeks for a continuous harvest.
Companion Planting: Pair with lettuce, spinach, peas, and carrots to attract beneficial insects and improve soil health.
Size Consideration: Harvest at 2-4 inches for a traditional flavor or earlier for a milder taste.
Overwintering: In mild winter regions, mulch heavily to protect from freezing, allowing for a spring harvest.
Saving Seeds: For heirloom varieties, save seeds from healthy plants and store them in a cool, dry place.
Enjoying Radish Greens: Radish greens are tasty and nutritious. Use fresh in salads, sautéed, or in pesto.
