Cultivation advice 

• Plant Saxa radish seeds in early spring or late summer for a fall harvest. They thrive in cooler temperatures.
• Choose a location with well-draining soil and full sun exposure for optimal growth.
• Ensure the soil is free of debris and well-draining. Amend it with compost to enhance fertility and drainage.
• Saxa radishes prefer slightly acidic to neutral soil with a pH between 6.0 and 7.0.
• Sow seeds directly into the prepared soil, approximately ½ inch deep and spaced 1-2 inches apart in rows. Rows should be about 12-18 inches apart.
• Keep the soil consistently moist for successful germination.
• Ensure Saxa radishes receive at least 6 hours of sunlight daily. They thrive in full sun but can tolerate partial shade.
• Water consistently, keeping the soil evenly moist. Avoid overwatering to prevent issues like rotting.
• Once the seedlings appear, thin them to about 2-3 inches apart to allow enough space for root development. Crowded plants can yield smaller radishes.
• Radishes generally don’t require heavy feeding. However, if the soil lacks nutrients, a balanced fertilizer can be applied at planting time.
• Use mulch around the radish plants to retain moisture and suppress weed growth. Regularly remove weeds to prevent competition for nutrients.
• Saxa radishes mature in about 3-4 weeks. Harvest them when they reach about 1-1.5 inches in diameter.
• Gently pull them from the soil. Leaving them in the ground too long can result in pithy or overly spicy radishes.
• Saxa radishes are best enjoyed fresh. Their crisp texture and mild peppery flavor make them ideal for salads, garnishes, or as a crunchy snack.
