Now is the time to sow your winter radishes - according to the packets!
Every year I mean to grow them - and forget to sow them at the right time. So here's a little reminder to me and anyone else who is forgetful, to rootle around in your seed stash and see what you can find!
I've found (sow by date/# = in date) -
Chinese Dragon F1 (Aug 2015)
Neptune F1 (Aug 2013)
Mantanghong (June 2015)
Black Spanish Round (2018) #
Tsukushi Spring Cross F1 (Aug 2013)
Scarlett China ???
Mooli Mino Early (July 2017) #
Kulata Cerna (2017) #
Mooli (June 2015)
Daikon (2017)#
Red meat/Watermelon (2017 +) Maybe same as Mantanhong
How embarrassing is that? I keep buying seeds but not sowing them! Apparently, radish seeds stay viable for 5 years so they may all have a chance!
I'm thinking about how & where to sow some - buckets or open ground? Mixed seeds or individuals? Maybe use as ground cover and hope for the best
Anyone else growing these creatures or have any experiences to share?
