Latin: Raphanus sativus
Swedish: Rädisa 'Saxa 2'
English: Radish 'Saxa 2'
Producer: Bröderna Nelson, purchased at ICA Maxi 7/6-2011
Radish is supposed to be a very easy vegetable to grow. It is recommended to be planted "among rows" of other vegetables as those may take a long time to grow while radish is very quick at growing. This makes the surface being exploited twice instead of only once.
Planted 8/6-2011 (See scheme for raised bed)
The raised bed contained for the most soil from the EcoCenter (low quality soil), but it was topped with high qualitative soil for vegetable cultivations from Hasselfors (2,5 bags).
I personally preferred to keep it in its own rows. Maybe little wasteful. Will have to consider another approach for next year maybe? Did not use any non woven, which actually I should as it is the recommendation of the producer.
13/6-2011: First plants already there, but I did not check before that as I was on a short vacation. So they do really grow very quick it seems.
5/7-2011: And this is the size by July.
Note: That's my hand, not a two-years-old's....
Producer's description
Easy to cultivate and can be harvested quickly after planting. Round and red radish. Can be sown among other vegetables as it will be ready for harvest before other vegetables are.
Producer's instructions
Can be sown as early as the soil is not frozen any longer up until September.
It prefers loose soil rich in organic material. To avoid attacks from insects, it is recommended to cover it with non woven.
Depth: 1cm
Distance between plants: 2-3cm
Distance between rows: 10-20cm
Full sun to half sun
Harvest: About 1,5 month after sowing, which can mean from May to October
