Grow Radish Red Moon – A Unique Hybrid with Striking Colour and Flavour

Radish Red Moon is a distinctive hybrid variety prized for its stunning conical shape, vibrant red skin, and deep rose-pink flesh. Unlike traditional radishes, this variety offers exceptional colour and crunch, making it a standout in the garden and on the plate. Its mild, refreshing flavour is perfect for those who enjoy a less peppery radish with a juicy, crisp bite.

This fast-maturing variety is ready to harvest in just 4–5 weeks, making it an excellent choice for quick, successive sowings throughout the growing season. Whether you’re growing in raised beds, containers, or open ground, Radish Red Moon delivers high yields with minimal effort, making it perfect for both beginners and experienced gardeners.

Growing Radish Red Moon

Radish Red Moon is an easy-to-grow variety that thrives in full sun and well-drained soil. It performs best when sown directly into the ground for strong root development.

Sowing and Planting

  • Sowing Period: Sow seeds directly outdoors from February to September when soil temperatures reach 10°C or higher.
  • Soil Preparation: Remove rocks and loosen the soil to ensure smooth, well-formed roots.
  • Sowing Depth: Plant seeds 1.25 cm deep in moist, fertile soil.
  • Spacing: Sow seeds 1 cm apart, then thin seedlings to 3–5 cm apart as they grow, eventually spacing to 10 cm for the best root size.
  • Germination: Expect seedlings to appear within 5–7 days under ideal conditions.

Care and Maintenance

  • Watering: Maintain consistent moisture to promote even growth and prevent woody roots.
  • Weeding: Keep the area weed-free to reduce competition for nutrients.
  • Thinning: Proper spacing is essential to allow the radishes to develop fully.

Harvesting

  • Timing: Radish Red Moon is ready to harvest 4–5 weeks after sowing.
  • Method: Gently pull radishes from the soil when they reach 2.5–3 cm in diameter for the best flavour and texture.
  • Storage: Remove the leaves and store radishes in the fridge for up to two weeks to maintain crispness.

Culinary Uses

Radish Red Moon’s striking colour, crisp texture, and mild flavour make it a versatile addition to any dish:

  • Salads: Adds a burst of colour and crunch.
  • Raw Snacking: Enjoy sliced with dips or as a refreshing snack.
  • Stir-Fries: Retains texture and colour when lightly cooked.
  • Pickling: Enhances flavour and creates a vibrant, tangy garnish.
