How to Grow
Radish 'French Breakfast' seeds are best sown directly outdoors in garden beds or containers during the cooler months from March to September. They thrive in well-drained soil with a sunny or partially shaded position and mature quickly, making them ideal for a quick harvest.
Sowing
Sow the seeds thinly in rows within weed-free, finely raked soil, ensuring consistent moisture to aid germination. Keeping the soil well watered during this stage is essential for rapid sprouting.
Growing
Once seedlings emerge, thin them to allow a spread of about 30 cm to accommodate their 15 cm height, or grow them in containers at least 20 cm deep. This spacing helps maintain healthy growth and prevents overcrowding.
Plant care
Maintain regular watering to keep the soil consistently moist but not waterlogged throughout the growing period from April to September. Succession sowing every few weeks will ensure a continuous supply, and removing any weeds will reduce competition for nutrients.
