~ Sowing ~


When to Start Inside:

Sow indoors year-round for a steady supply of fresh microgreens. Maintain an indoor temperature of 65°F to 75°F for best germination.


Days to Emerge:

2 - 4 days


Seed Depth:

Lightly press seeds into moist soil surface and cover very lightly, no deeper than 1/8 inch.


Seed Spacing:

Scatter evenly and densely across the surface for full tray coverage.


Row Spacing:

Not applicable for microgreen trays.


Hardiness:

Frost-sensitive; best grown indoors for microgreens.


~ Growing ~


Soil:

Prefers well-drained, fertile soil rich in organic matter. A high-quality organic seed-starting mix works best for microgreens.


Watering:

Keep soil consistently moist but never soggy. Mist daily with a spray bottle. Avoid overwatering to prevent mold.


Light and Temperature:

Provide bright indirect sunlight or 12–16 hours of light daily. Ideal growing temperature is 65°F–75°F.


Maintenance:

Low maintenance. Good airflow helps prevent damping off. No thinning required.


Container Friendly:

Excellent for trays, shallow containers, or countertop growing systems. Choose a shallow tray (1–2 inches deep) with good drainage.


~ Harvesting ~


When to Harvest:

Harvest in 7–10 days, once the first true leaves begin to appear.


How to Harvest:

Use clean scissors to cut just above the soil line. Harvest all at once or as needed for fresh use.


Drying and Storing:

Use immediately for best flavor and nutrition. Store harvested microgreens in an airtight container or resealable bag in the refrigerator for up to one week.


Edible Use:

Adds a colorful, peppery flavor to salads, sandwiches, wraps, and smoothies. Excellent garnish for soups or main dishes.


~ Seed Saving ~


Seed Collection:

Not applicable for microgreens, but to save radish seed, allow mature plants to flower and form seed pods. Harvest once pods are dry and brown.


Seed Cleaning:

Remove seeds from pods and allow them to air dry thoroughly before storage.


Seed Storage:

Store in a cool, dry, dark place. Seeds remain viable for 4–5 years with proper storage.


~ Additional Information ~


Forage for Pollinators:

If grown to maturity, radish flowers are loved by bees and beneficial insects.


Origin:

Radishes are native to Southeast Asia and were domesticated thousands of years ago for both roots and greens.


Nomenclature:

The genus name “Raphanus” comes from the Greek “raphanos,” meaning “quickly appearing,” referring to its rapid germination.


History:

Radishes were cultivated in ancient Egypt, Greece, and Rome as one of the earliest root crops. The varieties in this mix—daikon and triton purple—are known for their vivid colors, mild flavor, and high germination rate, making them a favorite for organic microgreen growing.


Climate Adaptability:

Adaptable to most indoor environments and temperate climates, making it ideal for year-round organic gardening.
