how to grow daikon radish
Growing daikon radishes. Growing daikon radishes is very similar to growing any other types of radish. However, daikon radishes take longer to mature than salad radishes do (approximately 60 days, vs. 30). They also grow much, much bigger and, accordingly, they need lots of space. Daikons should be sown in rows 18 apart and thinned to a spacing of 6 in the rows to give them the space that they need.
Planting Daikon Radishes. In spring, you can plant these radishes as soon as you can work the soil. Continual planting every 10 to 14 days will ensure successive crops. As with other radishes, growing daikon radishes are good to plant in places where you will put warm season crops such as peppers, tomatoes or squash.
