Growing Tips, Tricks and FAQs
Growing Tips
The Red Beauty radish grows best in well-draining, fertile soil with a slightly acidic to neutral pH (6.0-7.0). Choose a sunny location with at least 6 hours of direct sunlight per day. The soil should be loose and free of rocks to allow the roots to expand. Water regularly to keep the soil evenly moist but not waterlogged, which helps prevent the radishes from becoming woody or pithy.
When to Grow
Red Beauty radishes are best grown in cool weather, late summer to early fall. They can be sown up until 4 weeks before the first expected frost in fall. The optimal temperature range for growing these radishes is between 50-75 F, to maintain their mild flavor and crisp texture​.
How to Sow and Plant
To plant Red Beauty radishes, sow seeds directly in the garden about 1/4 inch deep and 1 inch apart. Space rows 12 inches apart to give the plants ample room to grow. Once seedlings emerge, thin them to about 4 inches apart to avoid overcrowding, which can hinder root development. Succession plant for a continuous harvest.
How to Grow
Make sure that the plants receive about 1 inch of water per week to maintain soil moisture and prevent the roots from becoming tough. Drip irrigation or a soaker hose can provide consistent moisture. Keep the planting area free of weeds to reduce competition for nutrients. Usually, no additional fertilization is needed if the soil is rich in organic matter. Adding compost to the soil before planting can enhance fertility​.
How to Save
- Radishes are insect-pollinated, so you’ll need to isolate varieties by up to 1/2 mile or stagger plantings to avoid flowering at the same time.
- Staggering can be easy because of the radish’s quick maturity.
- Allow flower stalks to shoot up and seed pods to dry on the plant before picking pods and opening by hand to remove the seeds.
- Seeds will remain viable for up to 5 years when stored in an airtight container.
FAQ
How to know when Red Beauty radishes are ready to be harvested?
These radishes are typically ready to harvest 25-30 days after planting. Look for roots that are about 1 inch in diameter. Gently pull one out to check the size; if it is firm and fully colored, it is ready to harvest.
How can I prevent my Red Beauty radishes from becoming too spicy or tough?
Make sure that the radishes grow quickly in consistently moist soil. Avoid high temperatures and over-fertilizing, as these can cause the radishes to develop a stronger, spicier flavor.
What are common pests for Red Beauty radishes and how can they be managed?
These include flea beetles and aphids. To manage these pests, use row covers, practice crop rotation, and regularly inspect the plants. Removing pests by hand can also help protect your radish crop.
