Many people forget that you can plant not only onions and garlic in the winter.
With the right approach, you will be able to harvest an early crop of radishes.
What subtleties should you pay attention to?
Temperature
Radishes are considered a crop that is planted relatively late. The best time for planting is the period of frosts. Therefore, it is worth waiting for the moment when the temperature drops below zero.
"Requirements" for the soil
First of all, it is worth noting the need for radishes in soil with good air exchange and drainage. The site should be protected from the wind if possible.
What can be contributed?
If you know that the soil is poor, then it is worth adding humus or compost in advance. You can also consider using peat or sand.
These options should be considered if we are talking about heavy soils.
Sowing
The beds are formed in advance: they should be raised by 12 centimeters. More seeds should be added than usual: not all of them will be able to sprout.
It is forbidden to water the planting material that is added in the winter.
