In soil that has already warmed up, mixed radishes appear as a simple joy in the vegetable garden: a small seed sown at the beginning of the season that quickly offers a diversity of shapes and colors. Round or elongated, white, pink, or red depending on the varieties included, they dot the first rows of the vegetable garden and invite close observation of the cycle of the seasons.

In the garden, this mixture acts like a partner in sowing: by carefully thinning, you first harvest a few crisp young roots, then others follow, spreading the harvest over several weeks. Their presence encourages soil -friendly cultivation : sown shallowly, they take advantage of loose, well-watered soil, while then making room for other crops when the summer heat becomes more intense.

Growing climate: Cool season
Sowing difficulty level: Easy
Care required: Occasional
Growth: Rapid growth

Annotation: Typical early and late season crop, requiring consistently slightly moist soil to prevent roots from becoming hollow or too prickly.

The radishes in this mix are mainly eaten fresh, whole or sliced, raw, in salads or as a side dish, often with a little salt. The young leaves can also be used cooked in some dishes, although this is less common.

Root vegetables can be stored for a short time in the refrigerator's crisper drawer, ideally with a little moisture to maintain their crunch. The varieties included in the mix, which come in a range of shapes and colors, add a splash of color to plates and vegetable platters.
