If you plant this dish in the middle of July, you will have a full harvest in August.

Radish as an annual or biennial herb, can be planted in four seasons, its leaves, green, some varieties petiole is red or purple; fleshy roots reveal white, pink, turquoise or red parts, more ornamental. The edible function of radish is rich in vitamins and minerals, which is a kind of highly nutritious vegetable.

If flower lovers want to eat safe radish, they can choose to plant summer and autumn radish in summer. Generally, they only need to sow seeds from early July to early August, and the harvest will be full from late August to mid-October.

When flower friends choose to sow radish, sow 3-4 seeds in each hole or pot with a depth of 2 cm, and seedlings can emerge one week after sowing. When the cotyledons are fully hypertrophic, keep 3 seedlings in each hole or pot, 2 seedlings in each hole or pot when 3 true leaves are grown, and 1 strong seedling in each hole or pot when 4-5 true leaves are grown.

Family cultivation should choose varieties with fleshy stems exposed to the soil and bright skin color, such as Mid-Autumn Red, Dahongpao, Lantern Red, Carmine and Cherry Radish varieties such as Cherry, Xinchao and so on.

The depth of the container should be more than 40 cm; the fleshy root of cherry radish is relatively short, and the pot with a diameter of more than 12 cm can be planted.

In addition, radish prefers cold climate and grows slowly when the temperature drops to 6 ℃, but the leaves of adult plants will not be damaged under the low temperature of minus 5 ℃ to minus 4 ℃ in a short time. However, radish is afraid of heat. When the temperature exceeds 25 ℃, the nutrient accumulation decreases, the plant growth is weak, and the root can not be enlarged normally.

Maintain the radish and give plenty of sunshine as much as possible during growth. Control watering at seedling stage to promote root growth downward. When the fleshy root expands to the thumb and exposed to the ground, the water should be controlled continuously to prevent the excessive growth of leaves, which is beneficial to the expansion of the root. When growing 12-13 leaves, the fleshy root enters the rapid expansion period, and the requirement for moisture increases rapidly, which should be increased to facilitate the growth of fleshy root.

In addition, nitrogen fertilizer should not be applied at seedling stage to prevent excessive growth of leaves and affect root growth and expansion. Just apply organic liquid fertilizer for fruits and vegetables once a week when the roots are swollen like fingers. After growing 12-13 leaves, the amount of fertilizer should be increased, and organic liquid fertilizer for fruits and vegetables should be applied every 5-7 times to promote root growth.

If flower lovers are interested in hydroponics, they can cut off the top part of the radish and soak it in a plate filled with shallow water. Leaves will grow gradually soon, and clusters of bright lavender flowers will bloom in spring. After the inflorescence is extracted, it can grow more inflorescences and more florets.
