Here’s a simple guide for sowing radish seeds 🌱

Best Season

Radish grows well in cool weather.

In India, you can sow:

August–November (main season)

January–February (short crop in mild climates).

Soil Preparation

Light, well-drained soil with good organic matter.

Loosen soil at least 1 ft deep to allow roots to grow straight.

Maintain soil pH between 6.0–7.5.

Seed Sowing

Spacing:

Row to Row: 20–25 cm

Plant to Plant: 5–7 cm

Depth: Sow seeds about 1–1.5 cm deep.

Cover lightly with soil and water gently.

Watering

Keep soil moist but not waterlogged.

Regular, even watering prevents roots from becoming woody or splitting.

Care

Thin seedlings to proper spacing after germination (5–7 days).

Keep area weed-free.

Use light organic fertilizer if needed.

Harvest

Ready in 30–40 days depending on variety.

Harvest when roots are tender (not oversized, or they turn pithy).
