Hiya,

I've been checking up on crop rotation and I think I've got it sorted in my head, but I just wanted to check about radishes.

I've bought some Italian Radish (candela di fuoco), some mixed coloured (easter egg) and some of the white icicle radishes:

Would the long thin radishes be happy in the same bed as the carrots? (only because I was going to make sure the soil was finer and deeper in the carrot bed)  or do they have different soil requirements?

Hopefully I will have different raised beds built by the end of today for brassicas, root veg, dwarf beans, courgettes, and salads. (just waiting for Chris to get back from the tip and Focus with the 2 x 2 I want for the corners)

catch you later

Steph

Radishes are brassicas and ought really to go in that plot for rotation purposes although the small ones are in the ground for such a short time it may not make much dfference.

Since you are obviously a radish fan are you also going to grow winter radish ? few people do but they are well worth the effort

I did! Black Spanish Round and Munchen Bier. Planted both back in late autumn and I'm still picking them now, they seem to hold very well without going woody.
