Mr Fothergill's Radish Celesta F1 Seeds, Quick growing, resists downy mildew. For best quality harvest when roots are small. Save space by sowing between slower growing veg.

Sow outdoors thinly where they are to crop, 1.5cm deep, directly into finely prepared soil which has already been watered. Allow 20cm between rows. Early sowings, especially those in February will benefit from cloche protection. Seedlings usually appear in 7-10 days. Water well until plants are established. Thin only if plants are overcrowded. Regular sowings made every two to three weeks will ensure a continuous supply.

• Fast growing, slow to crack or become spongy
• Resistant to downy mildew, ideal in wet conditions
• Excellent source of vitamin C
