Frequently Asked Questions

How often should I water Misato Rose during the main growing phase?

Keep the soil evenly moist from sowing through root bulking; aim for consistent moisture rather than wet–dry swings. In typical home gardens, this often means watering about 2–3 times per week depending on heat and soil type, with enough water to moisten the root zone. If the soil dries out between waterings, roots can become pithy or overly spicy.

How do I know when Misato Rose (Raphanus sativus) is ready to harvest?

Harvest when the radish roots reach their full size—about 55 days from sowing—and the tops look firm and well-filled. Use your fingernail to gently check the root at the soil line; it should be crisp and clearly swollen, not elongated and thin. If you wait past maturity, roots can turn woody and hot, so pull them promptly.
