Next, you will receive a list of the most popular hybrids and varieties of radishes that you can plant both in the garden in the open field, and, indeed, in the greenhouse (to get the harvest even earlier).

By the way! The site also has a detailed article on how when to plant and how to grow radishes.

How to pick a good radish variety

The main characteristics that you should focus on when choosing the right type of radish for you:

ripening period (how many days must pass from germination to technical ripeness);
taste (juiciness) and pungency, lack of bitterness;
shape - elongated (elongated, cylindrical), rounded (round).
size (diameter) and weight of root crops;
yield;

The yield will largely depend on the planting scheme (distance) and the fertility of your soil, as well as on the observance of the cultivation agrotechnology (= correct watering).

resistance to diseases, flowering (shooting), to the formation of voids, to flabbiness (the pulp remains juicy for a long time and does not lose its crisp properties).

If the variety (hybrid) resistant to floweringthen this means that it can be grown year-round.

Important! If you want to collect seeds, then remember that only varietal radish, hybrid (F1) seeds are not suitable for re-sowing... The fact is that their maternal traits are split, and you are guaranteed not to get the radish that you planted last year.
