Experienced gardeners are sure that in order to get a bunch of fresh, aromatic and crispy radishes by the New Year, you just need to start acting right now.

And we will share with you secrets that will make the task of growing root crops at home even easier.

1. Choose the right variety

When choosing seeds, give preference to varieties that are resistant to flowering and can be grown at any time of the year. One of these is the "Dusya" variety, but we are sure you will be able to find others.

No one will argue: you can grow radishes even in pots intended for indoor flowers. But large wooden boxes will be much more convenient for you and more productive for radishes.

3. Provide additional lighting
