How to Grow Fothergills Oh Sow Simple Round Radish:

1. Prepare the Soil:
   Radishes prefer well-drained, light, and fertile soil. Choose a sunny or partially shaded spot and ensure the soil is loose and free of large stones, as this will allow the radishes to grow straight and smooth.

2. Sow the Seeds:
   Directly sow the seeds outdoors when the soil is workable, typically in early spring. Plant the seeds 1-2 cm deep, spacing them around 2.5 cm apart. Thin the seedlings later to about 5 cm apart to allow room for the roots to develop.

3. Water Regularly:
   Keep the soil consistently moist, but avoid overwatering. Radishes grow best when they have enough moisture, especially during dry spells, but the soil should not be waterlogged.

4. Thin the Seedlings:
   Once the seedlings emerge, thin them out to about 5 cm apart to allow for healthy root development and prevent overcrowding. This will ensure that the radishes have enough space to grow properly.

5. Harvest:
   Radishes are typically ready to harvest in 4-6 weeks when they are about 2.5 cm in diameter. Gently pull the radishes from the soil when they are firm and vibrant in colour. For the best flavour and texture, harvest radishes promptly before they become oversized and woody.
