Radish 'Cherry Belle'

Sow sparsely and thin the tiny plants to allow the remaining roots to develop. Neglecting to thin the plants will reduce the potential crop.
Don’t allow to grow too big or they will be tough and run to seed.

Try to plant in a location that enjoys full sun and remember to water moderately. Keep in mind when planting that Cherry Belle is thought of as half hardy, so protect with a row cover whenever the temperatures drop. Cherry Belle needs a loamy, clay and sandy soil with a ph of 5.5 to 6.8 (weakly acidic soil).

Sow all year round. Quick to germinate

Try to aim for a seed spacing of at least 0.5 inches (1.27 cm) and sow at a depth of around 0.3 inches (0.76 cm). Soil temperature should be kept higher than 13°C / 55°F to ensure good germination.

By our calculations, you should look at sowing Cherry Belle about 28 days before your last frost date.

Sow direct

Ensure that temperatures are mild (minimum night temperatures should be around 10°C / 50°F) and all chance of frost has passed before planting out, as Cherry Belle is a half hardy plant.

Quick growing and best picked young, 20-25 days to harvest.

This variety tends to be ready for harvesting by early summer.
