Radish!

The Cutest little red in the veggie patch!

Commonly grown all over the world as an annual vegetable, radishes have an unusual peppery, spicy flavour.

Modern varieties available in all colours, shapes and sizes with the most common being the small red type in Australia. You can grow these little wonders all year round, from seeds or from seedlings purchased at a garden centre. They are best grown in a sunny position in the garden that also gets afternoon shade.

Soil quality is very important as they prefer well-drained soil with plenty of organic matter dug in. We recommend Katek Super Growth fertiliser pellets added to the soil at planting to boost organic matter and provide nutrients.
Keep up a regular watering regime and maintain moisture in the soil while they are growing. Every 3 weeks give them a dose of seaweed liquid to encourage healthy roots and crops!
Your crop can be harvested between 6-9 weeks after planting depending on the weather.
