At Arcade Mendel, we offer you the opportunity to grow radishes , one of the quickest and easiest vegetables to grow, perfect for home gardens and gardeners of all levels. Radishes are known for their slightly spicy flavor and crunchy texture, which add a touch of freshness to salads and various dishes. This plant is ideal for those looking for a fast-growing, low-maintenance vegetable.
Quantity of seeds per value: 4 gr
Packaging: We work with the best seed suppliers from Germany, Spain, Holland and Chile, which allows us to offer you radish seeds harvested and packaged in 2024, guaranteeing their freshness and a high percentage of germination.
Crop duration: Radishes are one of the quickest vegetables to grow, with a growth cycle of just 3 to 4 weeks from sowing to harvest. Seeds germinate quickly, usually in 4 to 7 days under optimal conditions. This is a plant that can be sown successively throughout the growing season for a continuous harvest.
Special Features: Radishes are prized for their fast growth and versatility in the kitchen. They can be grown in a variety of soils and climates, and are ideal for urban gardens, potted plants, or traditional gardens. Their round, colorful roots, along with their edible leaves, offer multiple culinary options, from salads to decorative garnishes.
Lighting: Radishes prefer full sun for optimal development, although they can also grow in partial shade. Adequate sun exposure helps develop larger, more flavorful roots.
Watering: Radishes require regular, consistent watering to ensure uniform growth and prevent the roots from becoming tough or bitter. It is important to keep the soil moist, but not soggy, to achieve the best results.
Pests: Radishes are generally resistant to pests, although they can occasionally be affected by aphids or rootworms. The use of organic products, such as potassium soap or neem oil, is recommended to keep pests under control.
Cold hardiness: Radishes are cold tolerant and can be grown during the cooler seasons of the year. They are ideal for spring and fall planting, but can also thrive during the summer if provided with plenty of water and partial shade on the hottest days.
Substrate: A well-drained, organic-rich substrate is recommended for optimal growth. Loose, airy soil is ideal to allow radish roots to fully develop.
Harvest: Radishes are ready to harvest when the roots reach the desired size, usually 2 to 3 cm in diameter. It is important to harvest them in time to prevent them from becoming tough and fibrous.
Shipping: All shipments are made through Bluespress. Check out our growing manuals on our website: www.arcademendel.com .
