Long, slim, icicle radishes are a crispy and flavorful vegetable, ready for harvest only about 25 days after planting. Like all radishes, icicle radishes are easy to grow even in a postage-stamp garden with well-drained soil and plenty of bright sunlight. While radishes are a cool-season crop usually planted in early spring, icicle radishes are more heat tolerant and suitable for planting in early summer. Plant a small crop every two weeks to guarantee a continuous harvest.
1
Spade or till the soil to a depth of at least 6 inches. For each 100 square feet of planting space, dig in approximately 10 pounds of compost or composted manure and 2 pounds of a granular fertilizer with a ratio such as 5-10-5.
2
Make a shallow row with a stick or the tip of a hoe. Sprinkle the radish seeds in the row approximately 1/2 inch apart, and then cover the seeds with about 1/2 inch of soil. As a general rule, 6 to 10 feet of row produces enough radishes for two people.
3
Water the area immediately after planting, providing enough moisture to saturate the soil to a depth of at least 6 inches. Use a hose with a spray nozzle with a fine setting to avoid washing the seeds from the soil. Keep the soil evenly moist until the seeds sprout. Thereafter, water whenever the top 1/4 inch of soil feels dry.
4
Thin the radish seedlings soon after they sprout. Pull the weakest seedlings, allowing about 1 inch between seedlings.
5
Pull weeds around the radish plants, as weeds steal moisture and nutrients from the developing radish plants.
6
Harvest icicle radishes about 25 days after planting, or when the radishes are about 4 inches long. Don't allow the radishes to remain
