Planting Instructions:
Soil: Easter Egg radishes grow best in loose, well-drained, and fertile soil. Make sure the soil is free of large rocks or debris to allow the roots to develop properly.
Planting Time: Plant radish seeds in early spring or late summer to avoid the heat of mid-summer, as radishes grow best in cooler conditions. A temperature range of 50°F to 70°F (10°C to 21°C) is optimal.
Spacing: Space the seeds 1-2 inches apart, with rows 6 inches apart. Thin the seedlings as they grow to prevent overcrowding and ensure uniform growth.
Growing Instructions:
Sunlight: Easter Egg radishes thrive in full sun, but they can also tolerate partial shade. Aim for at least 4-6 hours of direct sunlight per day for best results.
Watering: Keep the soil consistently moist but not waterlogged. Regular watering ensures the radishes grow uniformly, but excessive moisture can cause the roots to become pithy or cracked.
