        SEEDS GUARANTEED TO GROW

ALL SEEDS ARE FRESH EACH SEASON AND MAINTAINED IN COLD STORAGE TO INSURE FRESHNESS TO YOU 

The most important question to ask when buying seed is: Are the seeds good, will they grow? Nothing is worse than putting in all the work to plant a garden and nothing comes up. All Scarborough Seeds are germination tested and are fresh every season. In addition, they are maintained throughout the season in cold storage, which slows the aging process and assures they will still be fresh when you receive them. 

They are guaranteed to grow, and we provide planting instructions on every package to help you achieve success with your project.

SCARBOROUGH SEEDS Black Spanish Radish Nero Tondo (Organic) 100 Seeds

LATIN NAME: Raphanus sativus

This elite strain is much more uniform and resistant to bolting than the ordinary Black Spanish variety. Large 2–4" (depending on harvest date) black-skinned, round roots with crisp, hot, white flesh. Suitable for sowing midspring (soil temp. 60°F or higher to prevent bolting) through fall. Thin to 4" apart. Medium-long storage. USDA Certified Organic. 

Days to Maturity: 50 days

Radishes require friable, well-drained soils with a pH range of 5.8–6.8. Sow at any time during the season, beginning in early spring. Use 2–3" wide bands, seeds about 3/4–1" apart (about 10 seeds/ft), 1/2" deep, rows 1' apart. Radishes are adversely affected by hot, dry weather. They remain in prime condition only a few days and should be grown rapidly with plenty of moisture to be mild, tender, and attractive. If growth is checked, roots may become tough, pithy, and too spicy.
 Harvest promptly to avoid pithiness, beginning at about 3-4 weeks when roots are the size of a large marble. Bunch or top, cool and refrigerate. Topped radishes will keep 3–4 weeks in good, crisp condition if kept at 32°F, 95% relative humidity, and in breathable packaging
