Sow seeds 0.5 inches deep and 1 inch apart. Thin seedlings to 4-6 inches apart after germination. While radishes like moist soil, be careful not to overwater, as this can encourage pest problems. Red Rat’s Tail is ready for harvesting when the red and green seed pods reach about 3-6 inches. Unlike traditional radishes, this variety is grown for its edible seed pod, rather than the roots. Seeds germinate in 4-10 days. \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eRed Rat’s Tail Radish in the Vegetable Garden\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eRadishes are a common crop for home vegetable gardens.
