Radish is a vegetable with a bitter specific taste and a characteristic odor. When growing it, you need to know and follow some recommendations. This is especially true of the question of when radish is planted. There are two main varieties of this useful plant - summer (annual) and winter (perennial). The latter is distinguished by round fruits. These varieties are similar in method of cultivation, however, some differences in this regard still exist.
Before considering the question of when they plant a radish, we will find out how to choose the right place for it. This culture feels great after plants such as cucumbers, tomatoes, legumes, etc. Do not plant it after turnips, radishes or cabbage. Also, this culture does not tolerate shaded areas well.
So when is the radish planted? In this regard, this plant is not too similar to all other crops. Summer radish should be planted as early as possible. This culture is not afraid of frost at all. The optimal landing time is April. In the event that it is an early ripe variety, you can even get two crops. The first is harvested at the end of June. In early July, the radish can be sown again. In this case, the crop is harvested as the fruit grows.
But this is the question of when the radish is planted, it cannot be considered exhausted. In the event that you did not sow it in the early spring, you can do this in the summer. In this case, the second half of June (the 15th – 20th day) may become the most optimal landing time. Thus, winter varieties are grown . Seeds of both varieties of this culture are planted in rows (row spacing - 30 cm). After the first leaf appears on them, the seedlings are thinned out, removing all weak plants. Between seedlings it is necessary to leave a distance of about 4 cm.
The second time a similar procedure is carried out after about twenty days. At the same time, a distance of about 15 cm should remain between the bushes of the radish. Both thinning is carried out after rain or heavy watering. About when to plant a
black radish, now you know. Regardless of the color of the peel, this crop is sown exactly at the time indicated above. Like all root vegetables, radish loves watering, especially in the first stage of growth and during the formation of tubers.
If you do not know when to plant Margelan radish, then you should pay attention to the features of this variety. This plant belongs to precocious, and therefore it is necessary to sow it in the second half of June. Landing can also be carried out in rows, or can be a nesting method. The second method is considered more priority.
Often this plant is planted not on separate beds, but in combination with other crops. In this case, it can act as a soil compactor. Often in a similar way combine radish and potatoes. This applies to all varieties of this plant.
They feed this culture not too often. You can use both mineral fertilizers and regular manure for this purpose. When harvesting, as mentioned above, it is worth paying attention to the size of the root crop. If you overexpose it, it can become hollow, crack and lose its taste. Radish should be harvested when it reaches medium size, and the flesh remains crisp and juicy.
So, we hope, we answered the question of when they plant the radish. Two periods are optimal - the end of April and the end of June. In this case, you can get an excellent crop, provided, of course, the proper care.
