Patricia

Cultivation Break

Season Overview

Description

This tuberous vegetable from the cruciferous family has a short cultivation period. It is ideal as a pre-crop, intercrop or post-crop and as a marker seed for seeds with a long germination period, such as carrots. There are different varieties with red, yellow or white-red tubers. They also come in different sizes and shapes, from round to cylindrical to oval. Radishes can be cultivated as spring and summer radishes. The right variety should be selected depending on the growing period, as otherwise premature flowering and lignification of the tuber will occur. 'Patricia' is an elongated, red and white radish.

Growing tips

The radish prefers humus-rich, well-drained soil and even moisture due to its rapid growth. In dry conditions, tubers can become woody, very sharp and furry.
