Radish 
Radishes can be planted very early—as 
soon as the ground can be worked. The 
rows should be from 8 inches to a foot 
apart, with the seeds 12 inch deep and 
1 inch apart. Press fine soil down over 
them. Radishes mature, depending on the 
kind, in from 4 to 6 weeks. One ounce 
will plant 100 feet of row.
