Planting: Directly sow the radish seeds into the soil or pot, burying them at a depth of approximately half a centimeter. Maintain a spacing of 5 centimeters between each seed. For rows, leave a gap of around 20-30 centimeters between them. During the germination process, ensure the soil remains consistently moist by gently and regularly watering it.
Thinning: Once the seedlings emerge and reach a height of 1-2 centimeters, thin them out to provide ample space for proper root development. Space the radishes 10-20 centimeters apart, allowing them sufficient room to grow and mature.
Watering: Consistent moisture is vital for radishes to prevent them from becoming stringy and bitter. Regularly water the plants to keep the soil moist, but be cautious not to overwater, as excessive moisture can lead to root rot.
Harvesting: Typically, two-tone white sparkle French radishes are ready for picking within 20-30 days. Begin harvesting when the radishes reach their desired size, which is usually around 3-6 centimeters in diameter. Gently pull them out of the ground and relish in the fresh, crunchy goodness they offer.
