Growing Tips for Organic Black Spanish Round Winter Radish Seeds

1. Planting: Sow seeds directly in the garden in late summer to early fall. Plant seeds 1/2 inch deep and 2-3 inches apart in rows spaced 12-18 inches apart. These radishes need space to develop their large roots.

2. Soil: Black Spanish Radishes prefer well-drained, fertile soil with a pH between 6.0 and 7.0. Work in plenty of organic matter before planting to help the roots grow large and evenly shaped.

3. Sunlight: Full sun is ideal for Black Spanish Radishes, but they can tolerate partial shade. Ensure they receive at least 6 hours of sunlight daily for the best flavor and growth.

4. Watering: Keep the soil consistently moist, especially during germination and root development. Mulching can help retain soil moisture and prevent the roots from becoming tough or splitting.

5. Fertilizing: Enrich the soil with compost or a balanced organic fertilizer before planting. Avoid over-fertilizing with nitrogen, as it can lead to excessive foliage at the expense of root development.

6. Harvesting: Black Spanish Radishes are typically ready to harvest 55-70 days after planting. Harvest when the roots are firm and about 3-4 inches in diameter. They can be stored in the ground for several weeks during cool weather.

7. Pest and Disease Management: These radishes are relatively pest-resistant, but keep an eye out for root maggots and flea beetles. Use organic pest control methods like crop rotation, row covers, or neem oil if necessary.

8. Storage: Black Spanish Radishes store exceptionally well. After harvesting, trim the tops and store the roots in a cool, dark place. They can be kept for several months without losing their flavor or texture.
