Its rich aroma is due to the mustard seed oil embedded in the storage tissue. You can sow spring and summer radishes between April and early August, while autumn and winter radishes should be sown between early July and late August. Summer radish can also be pre-cultivated from February in a cool room on the windowsill or in a greenhouse. Like most vegetables, radish prefers a sunny place. It is very suitable for mixed cultivation together with carrots, tomatoes and beans. Water the plant regularly, as the tuber stops growing, becomes unappetizing and bitter, and the plant tends to sprout with persistent dryness. With uneven watering, the tubers often crack. Refrain from fertilizing, as radish has the peculiarity of absorbing and storing nitrates.
