Mooli Radish 'Neptune' F1 Hybrid has grown increasingly popular thanks to it pure white roots and crisp, mild flavour. Completely winter hardy, this is the ideal radish to be grown for autumn and winter harvest periods. The large radish roots grow up to 25cm long with pure white colouration and can be lifted and stored for future use. This tasty variety also shows excellent resistance to bolting. Try growing radishes with mint to deter flea beetles, which chew irregular holes in the leaves. Direct sow mooli radish seeds outdoors from late June to August. Earlier sowings risk a higher chance of bolting. Grow mooli radish in a well prepared fertile, moist, free draining seedbed in full sun or semi shade. Sow oriental radish seeds thinly at a depth of 1cm (1/2") in drills 30cm 12") apart. When large enough to handle, thin out the seedlings within each row to 10cm (4") apart. Where space is limited, growing mooli radish in patio containers will also produce a worthwhile crop. When growing mooli radishes, prevent them running to seed by keeping plants cool and well watered, particularly during hot, dry periods. Excessive watering should also be avoided as this will encourage radish leaf growth instead of root development. Harvest mooli radishes around 8 weeks after sowing when roots reach a 10cm (4") in length. Protect winter crops with cloches.
