Frequently Asked Questions

How do I prevent and treat powdery mildew on Raphanus sativus (Red Globe radish)?

Powdery mildew appears as a white, powdery coating on radish leaves, often after humid spells. Remove and discard heavily affected leaves, then improve airflow by thinning plants so leaves aren’t touching. If mildew keeps spreading, spray an approved horticultural fungicide and avoid overhead watering to keep foliage drier.

When is Red Globe radish ready to harvest, and how can I tell without guessing the date?

Harvest when roots are about 1.5–2.5 in (3.5–6 cm) wide and feel firm with a smooth, well-colored surface; Red Globe is often ready in ~25 days. Pull one test radish—if it’s tender and crisp with a mild bite, harvest the rest promptly before roots enlarge and become woody.
