      Just dug my seeds out! They are called red flesh. Its says on the packet they can be sown from late feb to sept. and can be used cooked as a winter readish too? apparently ready 20-30 days from sowing. duh mine have been sat in the ground for months bluntly refusing to grow!

        That's in optimum conditions ... and is pretty optimistic.

        I find radish grow best for me if sown in March or October, then I might get some edible ones. Otherwise, they're like yours: tough, woody (and full of holes from the cabbage root fly)

          I'm raking out the radishes I sowed with the parsnip, they look weak and lacy. The parsnip haven't germinated, so I'm starting again.

            I LOVE radishes and this year mine have been fantastic! The first batch took about 8 weeks to mature (I sowed them in February) but in this weather they are growing much faster than that. I grow them in containers and beds.

            As mentioned by others keeping them moist is key. I also think that spacing is very important, particularly when grown in containers. I had similar problems to you the first time I grew them. This year I have been very generous with my spacing (at least 2-3cm apart) and it is working.

              I grow radishes in the ground but I also have a couple of the fish boxes that you can nab from the supermarkets, I fill with compost and put a few seeds in one along with salad leaves and leave in the greenhouse, I then move it out side. works a treat.
