Surely many summer residents may be afraid that the radishes will grow bitter and tasteless.

In such cases, many people blame the plant's varietal affiliation, but this is not always correct.

Most often, the taste of the product is unpleasant due to a violation of the cultivation technology, says agronomist and landscape designer Anastasia Kovrizhnykh , an expert of the online publication BelNovosti.

What shortcomings should be kept in mind?
