How to water radish seeds<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Growing radishes by seed is easy and is the best way to get a successful crop. Radishes are a root vegetable with a main tap root that does not like being disturbed. This means that it is best to sow them directly into a garden bed where they can grow and mature.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

After sewing the tiny seeds water them gently with a mist spray from your hose or from a spray bottle. Once the seeds are sown they need to be kept moist until they grow their second set of leaves or are at least 1 inch tall.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

If the seeds dry out at any point as they are growing the plant can fail to grow.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Keep watering the seeds each morning with a fine mist to make sure the soil is moist.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
