What is a Watermelon radish?
Despite the name, this is a radish, not a melon. It is a mild, slightly sweet heirloom with a pale green-and-white exterior and a striking bright-pink interior.
How long until Watermelon radish is ready?
It matures in about 55-65 days, a bit longer than common radishes. For the best color and mild flavor, grow it as a fall crop in cooler weather.
When should I plant Watermelon radish seeds?
Sow directly in early spring or, ideally, in late summer for fall harvest. Cooler temperatures produce sweeter, larger, more vividly colored roots.
How far apart should I space Watermelon radish?
Sow seeds about 1 inch apart and thin to 2-4 inches apart in rows 12 inches apart. These larger radishes need more room than salad radishes to size up.
How do I use Watermelon radish?
Its crisp, mildly sweet flesh is beautiful sliced raw in salads and on platters, and it can also be pickled or lightly roasted for a milder flavor.
How many seeds are in a packet and are they heirloom?
Each packet contains about 200 seeds of this open-pollinated, non-GMO heirloom radish, so seed can be saved from plants left to flower.
