Why radishes are bitter and the root crop does not grow: working on mistakes
This property of an early vegetable can be attributed to varietal characteristics, but sometimes radishes are so bitter that they become simply unbearable.

The sweetest varieties are considered to be "Carmen" and "Mercado".
Why is radish bitter?
For the same reasons, the development of the root crop is disrupted, which is why the radish grows not only small, but also bitter.
Firstly, insufficient watering is to blame. Radish loves water, and therefore it is important to stick to the schedule - 2 times a week is a must, and the rest is at discretion.
Secondly, like all root crops, radishes do not forgive poor quality soil. It must be fertile and loose soil. Therefore, after watering, it is necessary to loosen the bed.
Thirdly, you need to take a responsible approach to choosing seed material. Another important point is planting. If you sow seeds too often, the root crops simply will not have enough space to grow.
Here we can't do without thinning.
