RADISH 
Radish grows quickly and can be sown between 
rows of slower-growing crops without interfering. 
For an extra early crop sow in the greenhouse or 
hotbed in January or February. Garden culture 
may commence as soon as the frost has disappeared. 
For a continuous supply sow at intervals of two 
weeks until September. Sow in rows 8 to 10 inches 
apart, covering lightly. Be careful to sow the seed 
very thinly or thin the seedlings to 1 inch apart.
