Mister radish gives way to mistress turnip
You can say goodbye to radishes until autumn. But such root crops as radish and daikon, tupneps and turnips at this time just can take their place in the garden. When sowing in the spring, they can go into the arrow, and now these risks are reduced to a minimum.
