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?

Untimely weeding

Some people mistakenly believe that radishes can grow in any conditions, so they can ignore timely weeding. However, the presence of weeds has a negative impact on the taste of the product.

Therefore, try not to forget about removing unnecessary plants.

Incorrect watering

It is worth remembering that excessive moisture will cause a watery taste, but a lack of water is one of the main causes of bitterness.

Therefore, try to "treat" the radish with water in a timely manner.

Ignoring the harvest
