Radish "18 days" (De dix-huit Jours)
Radish "De dix-huit Jours" (18 days).
The variety is ultra-early ripening (ripening period is 18-20 days from germination). The root crop is cylindrical, pink-red with a white tip, weighing 18-25 g. The flesh is white, juicy, of mild taste. Used for growing in open and protected ground.
1,0 g = 100-120 seeds.
Agrotechnics.
For sowing radishes, choose a site that emerges early from under the snow, with light, highly fertile soil.
Any vegetable crops, except for the Cruciferae family, can be predecessors of radishes. Fertilizers are added to the soil before sowing.
Radishes are sown at several times: at the end of April (the bed is covered with film until shoots appear), then, if necessary, sowing is carried out at intervals of 2-2.5 weeks, for winter storage, late-ripening varieties are sown in early August.
Seeds are sown in rows with row spacing of 10-12 cm, a distance of 2-3 cm between seeds to a depth of 1-1.5 cm. After shoots appear, it is necessary to regularly loosen the soil and keep it moist. In the middle of summer, with the longest daylight hours, it is recommended to shade the radish plantings. To obtain an earlier or later harvest, radishes are grown in protected soil (in spring, seeds are sown in early March, and in autumn - in early September).
