Growing early radish in a greenhouse through seedlings
RADISH SEEDLINGS IN THE GREENHOUSE
I want to share with readers, I wanted the experience of growing early radishes in a greenhouse through seedlings, which may be of interest to weekend summer residents. I discovered this method for myself by accident. Previously, radishes were sown with germinated seeds immediately into the ground, but the year before last, it was not possible to sow them on time (I have both plots far from home), and so that the sprouts do not overgrow, I decided to use the seedling method.
I put the seeds into the container from under the cake, put them on the windowsill, and after the emergence of shoots I put them on the balcony, where it was still pretty cool. Seedlings turned out excellent, strong, dark green. Then it became possible to go to the site at a convenient time for me and slowly plant radishes in the greenhouse. It took a little more time, but how beautifully it grew in rows!
At the same time, there were practically no losses: all the seedlings took root in the damp and warm enough soil. When I sowed seeds, no, no, yes, and the crops thickened, I had to pull out the extra ones, and sometimes transplant them to another place. All radish care now consisted of occasional watering and light one-time loosening.
And most importantly, there is a gain in terms of maturation. By the time the main crops were planted, all the radishes had grown. I plant proven unpretentious varieties for early ripening. French breakfast and 18 days.
This year, in the hope that spring will come in time, I also prepared seedlings. But the time has come to plant, but there is no heat like no. I came to the site and saw a greenhouse half buried in a snowdrift ...
First of all, I freed the walls of the greenhouse from snow in order to increase the area of \uXNUMXb\uXNUMXbsunlight (if the sun decides to appear). By my next visit, the snow in the greenhouse had melted from above, and even ice still came across inside the beds. Deciding to test the strength of the radish, I landed it almost ... on the ice!.
But the conditions were still too extreme even for radishes. Individual specimens began to turn yellow and wither, although most survived and produced a crop. But in another greenhouse, where I planted seedlings a week later on the already thawed ground, there were no problems, the radish grew wonderful.

EARLY RADISH – HOW TO PLEASE A BEAUTY?
The main beauty, of course, is the radish. It is understandably difficult to please her. But we'll try.
Radish belongs to the group of short day plants.
The weather is desirable sunny, but cool.
In order for radishes to please with an early abundant harvest, the soil must be prepared fertile, loose. Do not bring manure! Evenly sprinkle the bed with humus: 1 bucket per 1 m2. Cover with black foil and leave for about a week. The earth must warm up.
In loose, oxygen-rich soil, radishes are large and juicy. The acidity is preferably neutral.
You should not apply potash fertilizers and ash, you can provoke an arrow.
A polycarbonate greenhouse heats up faster, the radish is too hot in it. Do not forget about ventilation, especially on sunny days.
It is necessary to ensure that the soil does not dry out, otherwise the root crops will grow coarse. And if, after a drought, the bed is abundantly watered, they will crack.

Why does radish sprout but not develop on the windowsill?
#
— Radish is a short-day plant, few people understand this, and often this is the reason. If the lighting is in order and the radish receives just enough light to correspond to a short day, then perhaps the soil is alkaline or very acidic, there is a deficiency or excess of moisture, or the room is too hot. All these factors must be taken into account when growing radishes. Quite often depth also plays a role.
pot. Many naively believe that since the root crop is formed almost at the surface of the soil, then the plant does not need a deep pot. In reality, this is not the case; radishes will develop fully only if the depth of the pot is 20-25 cm. By the way, many people grow radishes specifically for greens, adding them to salads.
