Radish is a cool season crop and seeds can be sown directly in the garden in early Spring as soon as the soil can be worked. Soil temperature (not air temperature) should be between 10-16° C (50-60°F) . Prepare the soil for planting. Make shallow rows 13 mm (1/2") deep and 30 cm (12") apart. Tear strips apart and unroll into rows. Water the Seedtape thoroughly, then cover with soil and water thoroughly again. It is critical to keep the soil consistently moist, but not soggy during germination. Do not allow the soil to become dry, as young plants have underdeveloped roots and can quickly dehydrate, particularly in windy conditions. Weed often as weeds can quickly crowd out radishes. Radish grows quickly and more seeds can be succession planted every 10 days until the temperature exceeds 21°C (70°F). Once the temperature rises, radish tends to bolt. Planting can resume when the temperature turns cooler at the end of Summer and early Fall.

Suggestions
Growing Suggestions:
- Consistent moisture is key. Do not let the soil dry out which can result in poor flavor and a tough texture. Soil that's too wet can cause the roots to split and rot.
- Do not leave radishes in the ground past their maturity; they can go from crisp and crunchy to woody and excessively spicy within a matter of days. Follow the seed packet for the number of days to maturity.
- Hot weather can cause the plants to bolt (a flower forms and it goes to seed) and decline in quality and bulbs will stop forming. They can get tough and woody or spongy with hollow centers.
