Radish : Rats Tail |
High quality half-long, cylindrical radishes with a white tip. When you bite into them, the first reaction is 'wow!'. The flavour really is refreshingly strong, crisp and clean. It's just what the summer salads needs.
| Sowing time: | at regular intervals from March-August. |

| Sowing depth: | 1cm (½in) deep in drills 15cm (6in) apart. |
Radishes grow well in most soils, but prefer rich, moist free draining soils. Sow into well cultivated soil. Sow very thinly.
Thin out seedlings to 3-5cm (1-2in) apart. Water during dry spells.
For summer sowings choose a moist cool spot to prevent running to seed. As radishes grow so fast and use less of the soil goodness, use them totally as a catch crop with other slower-maturing produce. Harvest as soon as the roots reach reasonable size, if left too long they will become hot and woody.
