Growing Tips for Organic Long White Icicle Radish Seeds

  1. Planting: Sow Long White Icicle Radish seeds directly into the garden in early spring or fall for the best results. Plant seeds 1/2 inch deep and 1 inch apart in rows spaced 12 inches apart. Thin seedlings to 2-3 inches apart once they’ve sprouted.

  2. Soil: These radishes thrive in well-draining, loose soil rich in organic matter. Prepare the soil by removing rocks and clumps to allow the roots to grow straight and evenly. A neutral pH of 6.0-7.0 is ideal.

  3. Sunlight: Long White Icicle Radishes require full sun to partial shade. Ensure they receive at least 6 hours of sunlight daily to promote rapid growth and prevent them from becoming overly spicy.

  4. Watering: Keep the soil consistently moist, especially during germination and root development. Even watering is essential to prevent the radishes from becoming tough or splitting. Mulching can help retain soil moisture.

  5. Fertilizing: Prior to planting, enrich the soil with compost or a balanced organic fertilizer. Avoid excessive nitrogen, which can lead to lush foliage but small roots.

  6. Harvesting: Long White Icicle Radishes are typically ready to harvest 25-30 days after planting. Harvest when the roots are 4-6 inches long for the best flavor and texture. Larger roots may become woody or overly pungent.

  7. Pest and Disease Management: Long White Icicle Radishes are relatively pest-resistant but monitor for common radish pests like flea beetles and root maggots. Use organic pest control methods, such as row covers or neem oil, if necessary.

  8. Storage: After harvesting, store Long White Icicle Radishes in the refrigerator, where they can stay fresh for up to two weeks. For longer storage, consider pickling the radishes.
