Cultivation Advice
- Plant French Breakfast 2 Radish seeds in early spring or late summer for cooler temperatures. They thrive in mild weather.
- Choose loose, well-draining soil enriched with organic matter. Ensure it’s free of rocks or clumps to allow the radishes to grow smoothly.
- Directly sow the seeds into the prepared soil. Plant them about half an inch deep and one inch apart in rows spaced approximately 12 inches apart.
- French Breakfast 2 Radishes prefer full sun but can tolerate partial shade. Provide at least 6 hours of sunlight per day for optimal growth.
- Maintain consistent soil moisture, ensuring it doesn’t become waterlogged. Water evenly to prevent the radishes from becoming overly spicy or woody.
- Once seedlings appear, thin them to ensure proper spacing. Leave about 2-3 inches between plants to allow enough room for bulb development.
- Prior to planting, incorporate organic compost or well-rotted manure into the soil. Radishes generally don’t need heavy feeding but benefit from nutrient-rich soil.
- Regularly remove weeds to prevent competition for nutrients and space. Be cautious around radish roots to avoid disrupting their growth.
- Lightly mulch to retain moisture and control weeds. French Breakfast 2 Radishes are relatively low-maintenance, but monitor for pests like root maggots or flea beetles.
- These radishes mature quickly, typically in 3-4 weeks. Harvest when they reach around 1 inch in diameter and are firm. Gently pull them from the soil.
- Remove the greens and store radishes in a cool, humid place like the refrigerator. Freshly harvested radishes are best consumed soon after for optimal taste and texture.
