24 days. Raphanus sativus. Open Pollinated. Groundhog Radish. The plant produces very large radishes. The radishes have an extensive root mass that aerates the soil and pulls nitrogen and other nutrients back to the soil surface for ready use for next season's crop. If planted in late summer, the radishes are not harvested or turned under but left to die off in the winter and decay to contribute to a nitrogen store for spring planting. Excellent soil builder, cover crops, and livestock wildlife feed. Excellent choice for home gardens, market growers, and open field production.

Plant seeds outdoors directly in the garden as soon as the soil can be worked. Radish roots do not grow well in hot summer, so plant in early spring or fall. Plant successive plantings every few weeks to have a steady supply of radishes. Plant 3 - 4 weeks before the last frost in spring, and 6 weeks before the first frost in fall. Plants are 2" to 6" tall.
Requires fertile soil in a well drained location in the garden. Apply mulch, grass clippings, or straw around the base of the plant.
Keep soil uniformly moist and prevent it from drying out.
Use Slow Release (6 Month) Fertilizer when transplanting outdoors. Periodically apply Miracle-Gro Liquid Fertilizer.
Dig or pull roots when they are mature. If left in the ground too long, they will crack and taste bitter.
