DESCRIPTION
Growing Organic Radish Daikon Vegetable Garden Seeds
Growing Directions:
Sow daikon radish seeds 6 weeks before your region's first frost in either August or September. It's recommended to plant daikon radish a little earlier than your typical over-wintering crop, so you can allow its large leaves to establish and the roots to grow. Germination can happen as early as 3 to 6 days in warmer temperatures that are at least 60°F and up to 1 month in cooler regions. Daikon radish plants can grow up to 2 feet tall and should be terminated by either a low-mow method or herbicide before the plants fully bloom in order to prevent seed regrowth. You can terminate the crop or harvest the daikon radish to eat around 60 to 70 days from the sowing
