The main factor to be guided by when choosing the date for sowing black radish is the ripening time of the variety.

Thus, according to the expert of the online publication BelNovosti, scientist agronomist, landscape designer Anastasia Kovrizhnykh , the appropriate time for sowing early ripening varieties is in March.

Mid-season black radish is sown in mid-June.

And finally, the seeds of late-ripening varieties of black radish are placed in the ground in mid-July.

Late varieties are good for providing supplies of healthy and tasty vegetables for the winter.

Finally, we note that, as a rule, radish seeds should be sown directly into the garden bed, rather than using seedlings, because representatives of this garden crop do not respond well to transplantation.

If you want to start harvesting as early as possible, use peat cups to grow seedlings, which you can then place in open ground without disturbing the plants.
