Basics

Ease of Growing: Easy
Grown as: Annual
Days to Maturity: 25-28 (Spring/Summer), 28-32 (Fall/Winter)
Growing Habit: -
Hardiness: Hardy

Very hardy.
Crops: Spring, Summer, Fall, Winter
Growing Season: Short, Long
Cultivar Type: -
Growing Conditions: Cold, Cool, Warm

Radishes are most easily grown in spring and fall, as they prefer short days (up to 12 hours long) and cool weather. Temperatures much above 70 degrees F cause them to be very pungent.
Outdoor Growing Temp: 40°F - 75°F
Min Outdoor Soil Temp: 45°F

Don’t plant your ﬁrst spring Radishes until the soil temperature reaches at least 45˚ F, which may be around the last frost date.

If you warm the soil up with black plastic or cloches, you could get them going a month earlier than this (they are quite frost tolerant).
Start Indoors: No
Start Outdoors: Yes
Light: Sun: min. 6 hours daily (Cold, Cool)

In cool weather Radishes are grown in full sun.

Part shade (Warm)

In warm weather they may beneﬁt from light shade.
Water: Moderate

Radishes must have a steady supply of water for best quality, so keep the soil evenly moist at all times. Too little water can result in woodiness and excessive pungency (such roots are pithy and have marked growth rings). Too much water may encourage top growth at the expense of the roots.
Feeder: Moderate

Low nitrogen. Moderate potassium. Moderate phosphorus. Radishes don't need a lot of nitrogen (don't give them fresh manure), but they do like potassium and phosphorus.
Suitability: Tolerates light frost, Partial shade, Needs summer shade

Radishes need lots of water and sunshine, but they need partial shade in really hot climates.
