Planting radish can be enjoyable as there are many colors and flavors to choose from. While easy to grow, you should be aware of what variants to plant and when.
Numerous Types
There are more than 200 radish types you can plant. The Burpee White, Champion and Cherry Belle are suited for spring season. So are the Plum Purple, Fuego and Early Scarlet Globe. For summer or spring, Icicle and French Breakfast are recommended. For winter storage, China Rose, Round Black Spanish and Tama Hybrid will be excellent choices.
Planting
The spring varieties need to grow as soon as the soil is workable. When planting radish in the spring, the latest date is in the middle of the season. Successive planting every two weeks is acceptable. Some variants can be grown in the winter if stored indoors and in a container. The winter radishes need more time to grow.
Whichever variants you plant, you can set them between slow growing vegetables. You can also nurture them near warm season plants.
