Cultivation advice

  • Opt for well-drained soil with a pH between 6.0 and 7.0.
  • Prior to planting, enrich the soil with organic matter or compost for improved fertility.
  • Directly sow White Hailstone radish seeds in a sunny location.
  • Plant seeds about half an inch deep and one inch apart in rows spaced 12 inches apart.
  • Maintain consistent soil moisture to support germination and prevent radishes from becoming too pungent.
  • Water regularly, especially during dry periods, to ensure steady growth.
  • Provide full sunlight, with at least 6-8 hours of direct exposure per day.
  • Thin radish seedlings to ensure proper spacing, typically around 2-3 inches apart.
  • Apply organic mulch to retain soil moisture, suppress weeds, and regulate soil temperature.
  • Use a balanced organic fertilizer or compost before planting.
  • Avoid excessive nitrogen, as it can lead to more foliage and less desirable radish root development.
  • Regularly monitor for common pests like flea beetles or aphids.
  • Utilize organic pest control methods, and consider companion planting to deter pests.
  • Practice crop rotation annually to minimize the risk of soil-borne diseases.
  • Harvest White Hailstone radishes when they reach maturity, typically around 20-30 days after planting.
  • Gently pull them from the soil to avoid damage.
  • Use freshly harvested radishes promptly for optimal flavor and crispness.
  • Store any surplus radishes in the refrigerator, removing the tops to prevent moisture loss
  • Extend your harvest by planting White Hailstone radishes successively every 10-14 days.
