Radishes
Days to maturity are from date of seeding
Culture: Summer radishes may be sown almost as soon as the ground can be worked. Minimum germination soil temperature 40°, optimal range 55–85°. They emerge rapidly and grow quickly. Sow 1–2" apart, and thin to at least 2" for attractive uniform roots. Use row cover (p. 144) to protect from flea beetles. They develop more pungency in dry heat than in cool moist weather. Ready for harvest at about the size of a quarter and will rapidly get woody if allowed to grow much larger.
Disease: FY: Fusarium Yellows
Note: We cannot ship packets greater than ½ oz. (14 grams) of radishes into the Willamette Valley. The State of Oregon prohibits shipping any commercial quantity of untreated Brassica, Raphanus or Sinapis due to quarantine
Daikon Radishes

Daikon means ‘big root’ in Japanese. Can be stored in the root cellar like carrots and beets in slightly moistened sand or layered into damp raked leaves.
