Radish White Icicle

Radish White Icicle are a popular and versatile variety known for their crisp, elongated shape and mild flavor. Cultivating White Icicle radishes follows similar principles to other radish varieties. Plant the seeds directly in well-drained soil with a pH between 6.0 and 7.0. Sow the seeds about half an inch deep and one inch apart in rows spaced 12 inches apart. Ensure they receive at least 6-8 hours of direct sunlight for optimal growth. Keep the soil consistently moist, and consider mulching to retain moisture and control weeds. Thinning is essential for proper spacing; thin the seedlings to about 2-3 inches apart. White Icicle radishes typically mature in about 25-30 days. Harvest them when they reach a length of 4-6 inches for the best flavor and texture. These radishes can be enjoyed fresh in salads, sandwiches, or as a crunchy snack. Regular and successive plantings can provide a continuous harvest throughout the growing season.
