Growing Tips for Organic Watermelon Radish Seeds

1. Planting: Sow Watermelon Radish seeds directly in the garden in early spring or late summer for best results. Plant seeds 1/2 inch deep and 1 inch apart in rows spaced 12-18 inches apart. Thin seedlings to 2-4 inches apart once they’ve sprouted.

2. Soil: Watermelon Radish thrives in well-draining, loose soil rich in organic matter. Ensure the soil is free from rocks and clumps to allow the roots to grow evenly. A slightly acidic to neutral pH (6.0-7.0) is ideal.

3. Sunlight: Watermelon Radish requires full sun to partial shade. Ensure the plants receive at least 6 hours of sunlight daily for optimal growth.

4. Watering: Keep the soil consistently moist, especially during germination and early growth. Regular, even watering is essential to prevent the radishes from becoming woody or splitting. Mulch around the plants to retain moisture.

5. Fertilizing: Fertilize with a balanced, organic fertilizer or compost before planting. Avoid high nitrogen fertilizers, as they can lead to excessive leaf growth at the expense of root development.

6. Harvesting: Watermelon Radish is typically ready to harvest 55-60 days after planting. Harvest when the roots are 3-4 inches in diameter for the best flavor and texture. Larger roots may become tough or overly spicy.

7. Pest and Disease Management: Watermelon Radish is relatively pest-resistant, but keep an eye out for common radish pests like flea beetles and aphids. Use organic pest control methods, such as neem oil or insecticidal soap, if needed.

8. Storage: After harvesting, Watermelon Radish can be stored in the refrigerator for up to two weeks. For longer storage, consider pickling the radish slices.
