How to sow pink Chinese radish successfully outdoors?
To sow Chinese pink radishes outdoors, it is best to do so in spring or autumn, when temperatures are cooler. Before sowing, loosen the soil by lightly spading and removing weeds. Radishes prefer light, cool, well-drained soil.
Chinese pink radish seeds should be sown about 1 to 2 cm deep, about 2 to 3 cm apart. Be sure to water them regularly to keep the soil fresh, but be careful not to overwater to prevent root rot.
It's important to keep an eye out for pests such as flea beetles and slugs, which can damage young plants. To protect them from these attacks, you can cover the seedlings with an anti-insect veil or place slug traps nearby.
