Rich soil may lead to leafy growth at the expense of the root.\n</p><h4>2. Planting Radishes\n</h4><p><img decoding='\"async\"' class='\"alignnone' size-full wp-image-68986 src="%5C%22https:%5C/%5C/alternatech.net%5C/wp-content%5C/uploads%5C/2024%5C/02%5C/18-1.webp%5C%22" alt='\"\"' width='\"799\"' height='\"533\"' srcset='\"https:\/\/legendstitch.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/02\/18-1.webp' https: sizes='\"(max-width:'>\n</p><p>For spring radishes, sow seeds 4-6 weeks before the last frost date. Plant the seeds directly in the garden to avoid root disturbance. Sow \u00bd to 1 inch deep and 1 inch apart in rows 12 inches apart. Plant a new batch every 10 days for a continuous harvest. For a fall harvest, sow seeds 4-6 weeks before the first fall frost.\n</p><h4>3.

Harvest when roots are about 1 inch in diameter. Don\u2019t delay harvesting, as the quality declines quickly after maturity.\n</p><p>Winter radishes can withstand colder temperatures and can be stored in moist sand in a cellar or under mulch in the garden through winter.\n</p><p>After harvesting, trim the tops and tails, wash, and dry the radishes. Store them in plastic bags in the refrigerator, and separate the greens, which can be stored for up to three days.\n</p><h4>Wrap Up\n</h4><p>This guide offers you an insightful approach to growing both spring and winter radishes, highlighting their unique growth cycles, flavor profiles, and storage methods. Whether you\u2019re looking to diversify your garden or explore new culinary avenues, radishes are a splendid choice.\n</p><p>Remember, radishes are generally low-maintenance.
