How to successfully sow purple radish from Gournay
Sowing: light from June to August, 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 takes place from September to November. Don't let the radishes get too big; it's better to harvest them small than too large.
Use the tops to make radish top soup.
