Plant Radishes in the Early Spring: A quick growing beauty for the vegetable garden

Radishes have a crisp, peppery flavor that adds a refreshing crunch to salads and sandwiches. They're popular for early spring planting because they can be harvested quickly, usually within 3-4 weeks.

Radishes prefer well-drained soil with a pH between 6.0 and 7.0 and are best suited for USDA zones 2-10. Some popular radish varieties among gardeners include Cherry Belle, French Breakfast, and Easter Egg.

To plant radishes, sow seeds ½ inch deep and 1 inch apart in rows about 12 inches apart. Keep the soil moist and thin seedlings to about 2-3 inches apart once they're a few inches tall. Radishes don't require much maintenance, but keeping the soil moist and weed-free is essential. Harvest radishes when they're the size of a large marble, usually in 3-4 weeks.
