Sowing: Since Japanese Minowase are winter radishes, they should be planted about two months before the first expected fall frost. Plant Daikon radish seeds in very rich, deeply worked up soil about 1/2" deep and 1" apart; later, thin the seedlings 4-6" apart.
Growing: Radishes do well with consistently moist soil and the addition of organic matter such as compost. Do not allow the soil to dry out, but also avoid overwatering as this can cause splitting.
Harvesting: Japanese Minowase radishes can be harvested at any time up to their mature length of 24", and keep their mild sweetness very well for up to 6 months.
Seed Saving: Radishes will cross pollinate with all other varieties of radish, and must be isolated by at least half a mile from other varieties to protect genetic purity. Allow the radish plant to fully mature and send up a flowering stalk; the pods will form and turn from green to brown. Pick the brown pods and allow them to dry for several days. Thresh out Daikon radish seeds by opening the pods by hand, or by applying pressure to crush them. Store Japanese Minowase radish seeds in a cool, dry place for up to five years.
