💧 Watering
Steady moisture; erratic watering splits the roots and makes them woody-hot.
☀️ Sunlight
4–6 hours is enough.
🪨 Soil & setup
Loose, stone-free mix 15 cm deep. Sow direct, thin to 3 cm apart — crowded radishes make leaves, not roots.
🧺 Harvest
Pull at ping-pong-ball size; a week too late and they're pithy.
🧓 Grandmother's notes
- ◆Perfect first crop for kids — visible progress in days.
- ◆Sow a pinch weekly through winter instead of a packet at once.
