Ready to sow turnips and radishes?(1) We will also sow our radishes successively, so pick a 1X1 square. Lay one seed for every intended radish, with 2 inch spacing both vertically and horizontally, something like thirty seeds per square foot.
(2) Cover the seeds with 1/4-1/2 inch of a two-part topsoil one-part sand mixture. Distribute this layer evenly by rubbing the dirt between between your palms.
(3) Cover this layer with 1/8 cup of fertilizer.
(4) Add 1/8 to 1/4 more of the above dirt mix. Pat it all down. Mist with a nozzle.
TURNIPS: We won't plant turnips successively, as they prefer the "cooler" weather. You know the cool 89 degree January weather we've been enjoying. So take up as much the 2X2 square as our seeds will allow. The only difference between radish and turnip planting strategy is spacing. Plant turnips four inches apart, both vertically and horizontally.
Turnips and radishes will be ready for harvest in four or five weeks, so you almost could sit and watch these ones grow. I probably will.
