Planting Instructions Radishes are one of the 
first vegetables planted in the spring and the quickest 
to mature. They need fertile soil, plenty of moisture 
and cultivation to be in best condition for eating. The 
seed is sown in shallow drills and successive sowings 
should be made at ten-day intervals. Radish seeds are 
often sown thinly in rows of slow germinating seed, 
like beets, parsnips and carrots, to mark the rows so 
cultivation can start before the main crops are up.
