Advice
For planting in the early harvest is desirable to choose the most precocious varieties. There are a number of species that can be used in food in less than 1 month:
- Grade 18 days of ripening for 18-20 days;
- Heat and Dawn are ready for removal over 20-27 days;
- French breakfast, resident, Lyman - after 21-25 days;
- Alba (white), Early Red, Pink-red with white tip et al. It can be harvested 26-32 days after sowing.
To stretch the deadline for receipt of early vegetables, sow several varieties with different ripening period - from the earliest to the relatively late.
Sow radishes in central Russia is better in a greenhouse or under a film cover. This will get the first vegetables around mid-May. Experienced gardeners recommend to proceed as follows: To speed up the germination of seeds under the shelter of a film:
- Seeding produced as soon as a little thawed soil in the beds. It is desirable from the fall to dig and molded to start planting without digging in the spring.
- Seeds soaked, wait for the swelling membranes and drain excess moisture. Vessel with seeds in a warm place until its sprout germs of at most 1 mm value. Prepared seeds mixed with sand and dry humus. 1 part seed take 5 parts of additives and mixed. A simple measure will help to sow grain radishes without any effort at an optimal distance from each other (about 3-4 cm).
- To warm the soil, 2-3 furrows poured boiling water, quickly spread in a part of the prepared mixture seeds with fillers, covered with soil and covered with a piece of old polyethylene, so that the soil does not He cooled. Is heated with boiling water for another 2-3 furrows inoculated and covered, while continuing to work closure seeds or retracted portion.
- Finished seeding, watering ridge warm pink solution of potassium permanganate (it will prevent germination of fungi and bacteria).
- Closing film at low arches. The edges of polyethylene necessary to reliably fill up the ground to isolate the space under the cover. If the terrain occur strong winds, it is better to throw top caproic network (fishing) and secure it, ie. K. Polyethylene may rupture at any fixing means.
In this greenhouse radish does not need watering and heating with biofuels. With the threat of severe frost planting shelter at night insulating material.
When planting in a greenhouse without heating (polycarbonate) should abide by the rules:
- select only the large seeds;
- during sowing lay them in the grooves at least 3 cm from each other, and for large-varieties (e.g., early red) to increase it to 4-5 cm;
- plug the small seeds need to be at a depth of no more than 1 cm, otherwise they do not hatch and grow unevenly;
- basic care - timely watering.
Greenhouse ridge need to be planted in such a way that the areas cleared for planting of cucumbers or tomatoes.
To fresh radish was on the table before the other early vegetables, planting waves can be carried out, taking each time only part of the territory allotted for culture. At the same time sow seeds of the next batch is started when the seedlings on the previous wave will be 2 of these leaves. This occurs after about 14 days after planting seeds in the ground.
