Radish - LoveToKnow 1911 |
 | | The winter radishes, which grow to a large size, should be sown in the beginning of July and in August, in drills from 6 to 9 in. |
 | | Radishes, like other fleshy roots, are attacked by insects, the most dangerous being the larvae of several species of fly, especially the radish fly (Anthoniyia radicuna). |
 | | To obtain early radishes a sowing in the British Isles should be made about the beginning of November, and continued fortnightly till the middle or end of February; the crop will generally be fit for use about six weeks after sowing. |
