RADISH - China Rose Raphanus sativus

RADISH – China Rose

$2.95

Heirloom radish with pretty pink-skinned roots

Long a popular crop in China, the West only discovered it in the 1950s. The elongated, rose-pink roots look almost like carrots, but a taste will be enough to confirm they’re definitely radishes! Their shape makes them easy to slice up for salads and stir fries for a touch of extra colour and the distinctive sharp flavour we know and love.

How to Sow

Radishes are the ideal vegetable for the first time veg gardener. They germinate quickly, grow fast, and give you near-instant gratification. Consider staggering sowings so they aren’t all ready at once. Radishes should be sown directly where they are to grow. Cover lightly with soil, and keep moist till germination.

How to Harvest

Check the tops of the roots. They should either be slightly above or just under the soil surface. As soon as they start to swell, you can start harvesting. Simply uproot, wash off excess soil and cut off the tops to keep them fresh for longer if you don’t plan to use them immediately.
