How to Grow Alpine Gold Korean Radishes

Loosen soil in a suitable location; this will help roots grow straight and make harvest easier. Sow roughly 10 seeds per foot in rows 18 inches apart, and thin seedlings until they are four to six inches apart. Water consistently, but avoid soaking roots. Fertilize as needed.

Harvesting Korean Radishes

Harvest carefully, as Korean radishes can break easily. Loosening the soil before sowing and before harvesting can make this process easier. Grab plants as close to the base as possible and pull.

Not sure when to harvest your radishes? Wait until you can see the root shoulders above the ground. If your plants start to bolt or the weather is a risk, harvest early for the best flavor.
