Sow Radish Saxa seeds under glass from mid-February to mid-March or directly outdoors from mid-March to mid-August. Distribute seeds evenly over the seedbed or sow in rows spaced 15 cm apart. Cover seeds with about 1 cm of soil and press gently to ensure good soil contact. Once seedlings emerge, thin them to maintain 4 cm of space between plants, allowing roots to develop fully. This careful spacing supports the growth of smooth, round radishes with crisp white flesh and a mild flavor, perfect for a fresh harvest throughout the warmer months.

Mulching can help retain soil moisture and regulate temperature. With attentive care, Saxa radishes offer a steady harvest of mild-flavored, crunchy roots perfect for fresh salads and culinary use.
