Dirty Nails Relishes Radishes and Contains Caterpillars

Summary

---

THIS week Dirty Nails has been planting radishes. At this time of year he plumps for cultivating the China Rose variety in short rows 6in (15cm) apart. It is an excellent late summer and autumn radish. Roots can exceed 5in (12.5cm) in length and 2in (5cm) in girth without any loss of quality to the crisp white flesh.

China Rose can be succession-sown from Junks to September for a continual supply of hot and spicy pink-skinned portions. Later sowings can be lifted and stored in boxes of dry sand for consumption through the winter if desired. When dealing with radishes Dirty Nails is always mindful that they are members of the cabbage tribe (brassicas) and avoids putting down repeated related crops in the same place.
