Radish Fire Candle

Here are some short tips for seeding Radish Fire Candle seeds:

1. Planting Time: Sow in early spring or late summer for a cool-season harvest. Radishes grow best in cooler weather (50-70°F or 10-21°C).

2. Soil: Choose well-drained, loose, fertile soil with a pH of 6.0-7.0. Add compost to improve soil quality.

3. Sowing Depth: Plant seeds about ½ inch deep, spaced 1 inch apart. Thin to 2-3 inches apart once seedlings emerge.

4. Watering: Keep the soil consistently moist, but not waterlogged. Radishes need regular watering for crisp, tender roots.

5. Sunlight: Plant in full sun, though they can tolerate some light shade, especially in hotter climates.

6. Thinning: Thin seedlings to 2-3 inches apart once they’re large enough to avoid crowding and ensure healthy root development.

7. Fertilization: Radishes don’t require much fertilizer, but you can apply a balanced, low-nitrogen fertilizer if the soil is poor.

8. Pest Control: Watch for pests like aphids, flea beetles, and slugs. Use organic methods such as neem oil or diatomaceous earth if needed.

9. Harvesting: Harvest when roots are 1-2 inches in diameter, usually 25-30 days after sowing, for the best flavor.

Happy gardening!
