Radish - Carmesa - 100 g - Thin Skin, Big Flavour - Perfect for Salads - Fresh Seeds

Carmesa radish is a reliable and flavourful variety that delivers exceptional results for home gardeners looking for freshness, crunch, and a pleasantly mild taste. This early variety is well-suited for growing both outdoors and under cover, making it a versatile choice throughout the growing season. With its smooth, thin skin and deep red roots, Carmesa combines attractive appearance with excellent texture. It’s an ideal option for gardeners of all experience levels thanks to its rapid growth and resistance to common radish diseases.

Sowing and Growing Conditions

Sow directly into prepared soil from March to May and again from August to September. For protected cultivation, sowing may begin as early as March. Carmesa prefers light, humus-rich soil that is well-drained and slightly moist. A sunny or lightly shaded position encourages healthy development and uniform root formation.

Depth and Spacing

Sow seeds at a depth of 1-2 cm. Maintain a spacing of 10-20 cm between rows and 3-6 cm between plants within the row. This layout supports optimal root development and improves access to water, air, and nutrients.

Care and Maintenance

This variety is easy to cultivate and performs well with minimal care. Ensure regular watering, especially during dry spells, and keep the growing area free of weeds to minimise competition. Radishes grow quickly and benefit from consistent soil moisture.

Harvest Period

Carmesa radishes are ready for harvest just 3-4 weeks after sowing. Harvesting typically takes place from April to July and again from September to November, depending on the sowing date. For the best flavour and texture, harvest while the roots are young, crisp, and juicy—before they become overgrown or woody.

Disease Resistance

Carmesa is naturally resistant to the most common radish diseases and is not prone to sponginess or internal cracking. It performs reliably without the need for chemical plant protection.
