AB ICE CANDLE RADISH
Raphanus sativus
The ice candle radish is an all-season radish with a fleshy white root 15 cm long and firm, crisp flesh with a mild flavor.
How to successfully sow iced candle radish
Sowing: light from February under cover, from April to September in open ground, broadcast in rows spaced 25 cm apart in loose, rich, fresh soil in a sunny location, then thin out to about 1 cm in the rows. Cover with 1 cm of potting soil. Pack lightly. Thin out.
Remove weeds as soon as they appear. Water frequently to prevent the radishes from becoming too prickly or overgrown.
Harvesting radishes
Harvesting generally takes place 4 to 6 weeks after sowing. Don't let the radishes get too big; it's better to harvest them small rather than too large. Use the tops to make radish top soup.
