Growing guide for Radish Black Spanish Round Seeds
Planting instructions
Radish Black Spanish Round can be grown both in open garden beds and deep containers. Sow seeds 1–1.5 cm deep in loose, well-drained soil with 5–7 cm spacing between plants and 20 cm between rows. Ensure good sunlight and airflow for uniform root growth.
Growing Requirements
pests & diseases
Common issues include aphids, flea beetles, and root maggots. Regular inspection and using organic neem oil sprays can help manage these effectively. Avoid overwatering to prevent root rot.
soil
Prefers light, well-drained, sandy or loamy soil rich in organic matter. The ideal soil pH should range between 6.0 and 7.0 for best results.
spot
Choose a sunny location with at least 5–6 hours of direct sunlight daily. Partial shade is tolerated in warmer climates.
temperature
Optimal growing temperatures range between 10°C and 25°C. Higher temperatures can lead to bolting and a stronger, spicier flavour.
watering
Keep the soil evenly moist but not waterlogged. Regular watering ensures tender roots and prevents them from becoming woody or cracked.
how to harvest
Harvest radishes about 50–60 days after sowing, when roots reach full size but remain firm. Gently pull them out, clean, and store in a cool place. Their spicy flavour makes them excellent for salads, stir-fries, soups, and pickles. Roasting them brings out a nutty sweetness that balances their bite.
