Days To Maturity
Average number of days from seeding date to harvest, within a specific crop group. If a transplanted crop: average number of days from transplant date. Not sure if crop is direct-seeded or transplanted? Check the Growing Information box for details. If crop can be both direct-seeded or transplanted, days to maturity refers to direct seeding. Days to maturity for all flowers and herbs is calculated from seeding date.

Nero Tondo Radish Seed
Special Black Spanish type.
This elite strain is much more uniform and tolerant to bolting than the ordinary Black Spanish variety. The black-skinned, round roots may be harvested from 2–4" and have crisp, spicy, white flesh. Suitable for sowing midspring (soil temp. 60°F/16°C or higher to prevent bolting) through fall. Medium-long storage.Specs:

Specialty and Daikon/Korean radishes require friable, well-drained soils with a pH range of 5.8–6.8. For long types, work soil deeply, in raised beds if possible, for straight roots and ease of harvest. Note planting seasons in variety descriptions to reduce bolting.DAYS TO MATURITY: From date of direct seeding. DIRECT SEEDING: Sow 10 seeds/ft., thinning to 4–6" apart, rows 18" apart.AVG. DIRECT SEEDING RATE:
1 oz./260', 3.9 oz./1,000', 7 lb./acre in rows 18" apart.HARVEST:
Fork or undermine and lift roots carefully. STORAGE: Cut tops 2" above crowns, wash, and refrigerate. Store at 32°F (0°C) and 95% relative humidity for 6–10 weeks.SIZED SEEDS:
All seeds are unsized.SEEDS/LB.:
23,400–56,000 (avg. 38,600).PACKET:
