Very easy to grow, and ready to harvest just a month or so after sowing, radishes are perfect for the novice and can be grown in pots or borders. This mix contains a special blend of variously coloured radishes that will really liven up a salad bowl. Each colour has its own distinct flavour, but they are all an excellent source of vitamin C, potassium and beneficial sulphur compounds.
This mixture contains equal measures of the following varieties: Hailstone (20%), Scarlet Globe (20%), Sparkler (20%), Malaga Violet (20%), and Zlata Yellow (20%).

Radishes grow quickly and do best in full sun with moist, well-drained soil that’s not too rich, as overly fertile soil can lead to more leaf than root growth. Water regularly to keep the roots developing steadily and avoid them becoming woody or split.
Harvest as soon as they reach a usable size (usually within 3 to 6 weeks) by gently pulling them from the soil. Don’t leave them in too long as they quickly become pithy and hot. The leaves can also be eaten when young and tender.

Choose a sunny, sheltered spot with free-draining soil and sow sparingly direct where they are to grow, in shallow drills.
Thinning is not necessary, but take care not to disturb other roots - pull out the largest as they reach the size of a marble, when they're at their tenderest. The rest will grow to fill the space they leave.
Don't sow too many radishes at once, or you'll have a glut: instead, sow half a row every two or three weeks to have just the right amount to harvest all season long.
