There are red, pink, white, violet and black radishes. The shape of the root can be oval, bulbous or cylindrical. Many varieties are also cone shaped or conical.

 

They require a sunny location or in partial shade with loose soil. Ideally, they prefer a sandy soil with compost.

 

Radishes propagate generatively via seeds.

Preventative measures: do not use fresh compost or dung, use companion planting.

 

Summer radishes should be removed from the soil as soon as they are ready to harvest, otherwise they become furry and bitter.
Winter radish keeps fresh for a long time in the bed but must be harvested before the first frost.

 

Before storing, cut the greenery off.
Summer radishes can be kept in your fridge's vegetable cooler just above freezing point for up to a month.
Winter radish can be kept in a sand box in a cool cellar. It will keep for the whole winter like that.

 

The pods of rat-tail radish can be eaten raw, steamed or grilled and can be conserved in a sweet & sour marinade.
In Asian countries, radish is also conserved using lacto-fermentation.
