Culinary note: Some parts of these flowers are edible. For more details about edible flowers click here.
Radishes grow well in most soils but prefer rich, moist, free draining soils. Sow seeds at regular intervats from early spring to early summer into well cultivated soil. Sow seeds very thinly 1cm (½in) deep in drills 15cm (6in) apart.
Thin out the seedlings to 3-5cm (1-2in) apart.
Water during dry spells. Harvest as soon as the roots reach reasonable size, if left too long they will become hot and woody
Radishes are rich in Vitamin C and potassium and contain sulphur compounds.
