Please share your crop joy picture with me, and it may show up on future seed listings, with your permission of course!Either sow the seeds in early spring or late summer. Direct sowing onto well worked soil, as seedling transplant may result in transition shock. So try plant them in a small “hill” about 8-12” apart and rows should be 3-ft apart.

Google recipes for each section.Lots of novelty fun yet good eating radish that will impress your neighbors or 4H county fair competitions.
