How to Grow Big Time Korean Radishes
Prepare an area with full sun and fertile, well-draining soil, loosening soil as deep as possible. Plant seeds in bands 18 to 24 inches apart, thin your seedlings to 6 inches apart. As plants grow, keep moist and free of weeds.
Harvesting Korean Radishes
Korean radishes can be harvested once the shoulders of the roots begin to show above the soil. Grip the base of the plant firmly and pull directly upwards. Save the leaves–they’re edible and delicious! If your plants keep breaking before you can pull the roots, try digging them up with a shovel or loosening the soil around it. Don’t wait too long to harvest them; their flavor is best if you harvest early. Note: Big Time radish seeds are only available as thiram treated seeds.
Culinary Tips
Korean radishes are used in a variety of Asian dishes. Try making kimchi with an online recipe! You can also pickle Korean radishes to make a great garnish. Alternatively, use Big Time radishes wherever you would normally use radishes for a milder flavor.
