The “Warta” radish (Raphanus sativus) produces medium-long roots that reach harvest size quickly, typically within just 25 days after sowing. Known for their high quality, these radishes do not break or become pithy, similar to the “Silesia” variety. They can grow to a notable length of 4-5 cm and a diameter of 1.5-2 cm. Their carmine-red skin, adorned with a white tip, encases white, crunchy flesh that is mild in flavour, lacking the typical sharpness associated with radishes. As a low-calorie vegetable, radishes are rich in vitamin C, iron, and calcium, enhancing the taste and visual appeal of sandwiches, salads, eggs, and cottage cheese.
The “Warta” variety can be cultivated in the ground for a late spring harvest or under protective covers for spring or late autumn yields. Depending on the growing method, radish seeds should be sown from April to May or in August. For optimal results, it is recommended to sow seeds every two weeks, allowing for a continuous supply of fresh and flavorful roots. Due to its short growing period, this radish variety is well-suited for use as a catch crop between other vegetables.

Sowing & Growing
Sow March to September thinly in shallow drills 1.5cm (1/2in) deep with 15-30cm (6-12in) between the rows. During hot weather water the base of the seed drills first before sowing seeds and covering with dry soil. What to do next Radish plants do not require transplanting and if sown carefully, thinning is not necessary. Sow a few seeds in any spare areas for a quick crop.
Maturity is to be expected 4 weeks after sowing.

I have just bought all my new seeds for next year’s vegetables after having such great results this year. Budget seeds are so helpful, I’m a newbie in the veg growing world and they have been helpful in choosing the best seeds to start with etc. also much cheaper than elsewhere so if I do mess up in the future it isn’t costing me so much. I thoroughly recommend Budget Seeds for all your veg and flower seeds.
