Radish, Zurich market
Raphanus sativus var. niger
The ‘Zürcher Markt’ radish produces beautiful, white, tapered roots. It is an old variety from Zurich that was grown by pioneers of organic vegetable farming. This variety is robust and thrives in vegetable gardens. The radishes are harvested between mid-May and mid-June or in October. At harvest, the plants reach a height of 40 cm.
Growing instructions
Sow from late March to late April and from July to mid-August in rows 20 cm apart. Thin seedlings to 8 cm apart within rows. Ensure consistent moisture and keep soil loose. Elder leaf mulch helps repel flea beetles. Harvest continuously. Radishes do great intercropped with other vegetables.
