HOW TO GROW RADISH ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
🌱 WHEN TO PLANT: Radishes are a great, fast, easy crop. Radishes relish cooler weather so this means autumn - winter is probably their favourite time of year. Spring is an okay time to plant too (as long as it's not too hot!) You can plant succession crops every 2 weeks so you have a constant supply.⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
☀️ WHERE TO PLANT: Radishes aren't picky - you can even plant them in pots or containers. Make sure the soil is well draining and the plants will be exposed to at least 5-6 hours of sun a day. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
👩🏼🌾WHEN TO HARVEST: They mature quickly, so keep an eye on them, they could be ready within just 3 weeks! ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
👬 COMPANIONS: Try planting them with lettuce or onions or nasturtiums.⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
🤔 OTHER TIPS: Keep up moderate levels of watering. If the soil is too dry they will bolt and be no good to eat. if too wet, the roots will split and rot.⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
