You can sow outdoors under glass from february on. Use special fleece and flodderfole (see trough plastic with holes in it). Sow thinly and not to deep. Cover the seeds with a thin layer of soil. This way the seeds take a longer while to germinate and to develop. Air the seeds each day for about 15 minutes. Sowing outdoors can start from march or april (after frost) untill september.
Sow Your radishes thinly, about ½ - 1 cm deep and leave about 5 cm apart between the rows. You can thin the seedlings after germination to about 3 cm apart and nice roots to develop.
Sow, for a long summer of radishes, about every week a couple of rows. Radish doesn't need much fertilizer, You can use a good compost. To much fertilizer can cause the radishes to go spongy.
