Sowing Instructions

 

For an early crop, start seeds indoors from February to March. Use seed trays or small pots filled with light, well-draining compost. Sow seeds thinly, covering them with a fine layer of compost. Keep temperatures between 10-18°C and water regularly. Once seedlings are strong enough, harden them off and transplant them outdoors.

 

Direct sow from March to August in a sunny, well-prepared location. Sow seeds thinly in drills 1 cm deep, spaced 2-3 cm apart, with rows 15 cm apart. Cover lightly with soil, water well, and thin seedlings as needed for optimal growth. Sow every two weeks for a continuous harvest.

 

Radish ‘Patricia’ is a fantastic choice for those seeking a crisp, fast-growing variety with outstanding flavour. Perfect for adding a fresh, peppery bite to homegrown meals, it’s a rewarding and easy to grow addition to any vegetable garden.
