How to sow red meat radishes successfully outdoors?
To sow red meat radishes outdoors, choose a period from spring to late summer. Before sowing, prepare loose soil by clearing it of weeds and loosening it with a spade or grelinette. Radishes need cool, well-drained soil, so avoid soil that is too compact or waterlogged.
Create shallow furrows about 1 cm deep and space the radish seeds about 2-3 cm apart. Cover the seeds with fine soil and pack lightly. Keep the soil moist but not soggy, watering regularly. In hot weather, remember to mulch the soil to conserve moisture.
Red meat radishes are ready to harvest 3 to 4 weeks after sowing. Keep a close eye on root development to avoid them becoming hollow or bitter. Harvest the radishes as soon as they have reached a sufficient size to prevent them becoming too prickly.
