👨🌾 Growing Notes

Direct sow — radishes hate transplanting
-
1/2" deep, thin to 2" spacing
-
Best in cool spring/fall weather

Harvest when golf-ball size — don’t let them get woody

No patience? No problem.
This radish goes seed → plate faster than your neighbour can say “Is that heirloom?”

Looks expensive (because it is)
A tiny radish that delivers big visual and flavour impact.
Start indoors 8–10 weeks before last frost. Germinate at 26–30 °C on a heat mat; peppers stall below 22 °C. Pot up to 10–15 cm before hardening off outside after nights stay above 12 °C.
Feed balanced through bloom, then bump potassium for fruiting. Stake taller varieties. More detail in our full Canadian growing guide.
Match the pepper to the technique: thin-walled varieties blister fast in a hot pan; thick-walled ones roast or stuff beautifully; fruit-forward ones make balanced sauces and pickles. The variety's flavour profile is your shortcut — see Choosing the right pepper for a use-case guide.
