RADISH 
For well-shaped radishes the ground should be thoroughly pulverized and enriched 
with some well-rotted manure and fertilizer. Fresh manure must not be used. First 
sowings are made very early, as the radish is hardy, and successive sowings up to hot 
weather. To avoid pithiness the crop should be grown quickly and pulled promptly 
when mature. One of the easiest vegetables to grow.
