HOW TO GROW
Sowing: Since watermelon radish seeds are winter radishes, they should be planted about two months before the first expected fall frost. Plant the daikon radish seeds in very rich, deeply worked up soil about 1/2" deep and 1" apart; later, thin the seedlings 4-6" apart.
Growing: Radishes do well with consistently moist soil and the addition of organic matter such as compost. Do not allow the soil to dry out, but also avoid overwatering as this can cause splitting.
Harvesting: Watermelon radishes can be harvested at any time up to their mature size of 3". The flavor is sweet and crisp; they also store well for the winter.
Seed Saving: Radishes will cross pollinate with all other varieties of radish, and must be isolated by at least half a mile from other varieties to protect genetic purity. Allow the radish plant to fully mature and send up a flowering stalk; the pods will form and turn from green to brown. Pick the brown pods and allow them to dry for several days. Thresh out the seeds by opening the pods by hand, or by applying pressure to crush them. Store daikon radish seeds in a cool, dry place for up to five years.

Watermelon radishes
Looking forward to seeing these unusual radishes. Too early to see the end product, but the packaging and the speed of delivery was great.
Watermelon radish
Great radish for the summer months as well as spring and fall. It seems to resist running to seed and is so much fun to bring to market. I generally show folks the red interior and joke that I must have planted the seeds upside down.
Foil packs, good seeds, good company, fast shipping
I like everything about buying seed here. The foil packs do keep the seeds better.
