How to Grow Watermelon Radishes

📍 Ideal Conditions

Climate: Cool-season crop; thrives in temperatures between 10°C and 21°C
Soil: Prefers loose, well-drained soil rich in organic matter with a pH between 6.0 and 7.5 .
Sunlight: Full sun is ideal, but they can tolerate partial shade .

🌱 Planting Guidelines

Timing: Sow seeds in late summer for a fall harvest or in early spring in regions with mild winters.
Sowing: Plant seeds ½ inch deep and 1 inch apart in rows spaced 6–12 inches apart.
Thinning: Once seedlings are 1–2 inches tall, thin them to 3–4 inches apart to allow adequate space for root development .

💧 Care & Maintenance

Watering: Maintain consistent soil moisture, ensuring it’s moist but not waterlogged. Mulching can help retain moisture and regulate soil temperature .
Fertilization: Incorporate well-rotted compost or aged manure into the soil before planting. Avoid excessive nitrogen, which can promote leafy growth at the expense of root development.
Weeding: Keep the planting area free from weeds to reduce competition for nutrients and water.
Maturity: Typically ready for harvest 50–65 days after planting.
