Radish Round Rowa

What Radish Round Rowa is

Radish Round Rowa (Raphanus sativus var. sativus) is an annual vegetable of the Cabbage family (Brassicaceae). Rova is considered an early variety that can be sown in a greenhouse or

outdoors.

Its round radishes, covered with bright red skin, are medium-sized with

white flesh, sometimes with intricate pink veining.

It is distinguished by its juicy, crisp, tender flavour and creamy texture.

It grows abundantly and is not prone to becoming pungent.

This variety is a must in every vegetable garden.

Radishes are rich in ascorbic acid, folic acid and potassium.

They are a good source of vitamin B6, riboflavin, magnesium, copper and calcium.

One cup of sliced radishes provides approximately 20 calories.

Radishes are the fastest vegetable in the garden — only 25–35 days pass from sowing to harvest. They are ideal for the first spring salads and for children who are just learning to garden.

Radishes grow best in cooler weather and should be planted in early spring or autumn when temperatures cool down. They need a lot of sun, because it helps the plant produce larger roots. Regular watering is also essential. Under-watered radishes become pungent and have a lower nutritional value. They prefer well-drained soil and tend to split if soil conditions remain saturated for long periods. Radishes should be harvested at the ideal size for each variety. If left to get too big, they become peppery and not so tasty. Whole, unwashed radishes of this variety keep for 1 to 2 weeks when stored in the refrigerator.

Sow every 2 weeks from March to May and again from August — in the heat of summer radishes turn fiery and bolt. Keep the soil constantly moist.

Harvest and use

Pick as soon as the roots reach size — overgrown ones turn hollow and woody.
