How To Grow

To sow Crayon Colors Mix Radish seeds, begin by preparing the garden bed in early spring or late summer, depending on your growing season. Plant the seeds about 1 centimeter deep and space them approximately 5-7 centimeters apart in rows that are spaced 15-20 centimeters apart. Ensure the soil is well-drained and rich in organic matter.

Keep the soil consistently moist but not waterlogged during the germination period, which typically takes around 7-10 days. It's important to provide adequate spacing between the seeds to allow each radish to develop properly.

To grow Crayon Colors Mix Radish, ensure they receive sufficient sunlight for optimal growth, ideally at least 6-8 hours of sunlight each day. Keep the soil consistently moist throughout the growing season by watering deeply when the top inch (approximately 2.5 centimeters) of soil feels dry. Apply mulch around the plants to help retain soil moisture and suppress weed growth.

Monitor the radishes for any signs of pests or diseases, and address any issues promptly to prevent damage to the crop. Additionally, provide adequate space between the radish plants, typically around 5-7 centimeters apart in rows that are spaced 15-20 centimeters apart.

As the radishes mature, typically within 30-45 days after sowing, harvest them when they reach the desired size. This ensures they remain tender and flavorful for consumption.

Harvesting

Harvesting Crayon Colors Mix Radish seeds is a rewarding experience, offering a burst of color to your garden and table. These radishes typically mature quickly, usually ready for harvest 4 to 6 weeks after planting. You'll know they're ready when the radishes peek out of the soil and their vibrant colors become visible. Gently pull the radishes from the ground, taking care not to damage their tender roots. It's best to harvest them when they're medium-sized to ensure they're crisp and not overly pithy. After harvesting, remove the tops to prevent them from drawing moisture from the radish. Wash them thoroughly and they're ready to enjoy raw in salads, as garnishes, or even pickled for an extended shelf life.

Seed Saving

Seed Saving of Crayon Colors Mix Radish involves allowing some radishes to fully mature and go to seed. As the radishes grow, they will develop seed pods after flowering. Once the pods turn brown and dry, they can be harvested for seed collection. Each pod contains several seeds. To collect the seeds, carefully remove the dry pods from the plant and open them to release the seeds. It's essential to ensure that the seeds are fully dry before storing them to prevent mold or rot. Once dried, store the seeds in a cool, dry place in an airtight container. With proper storage, Crayon Colors Mix Radish seeds can remain viable for several years.
