Small round radishes · bed1
Direct sow. Use a small round spring variety, not daikon; avoid sustained hot weather.
One seed stock shared across two beds
Deduct one radish seed stock once across two beds and two batches in each bed.
Keep a single remaining seed count. Buying for each bed separately can accidentally count the same owned seeds twice.
How to use this plan
Allocate one seed stock across repeated beds and batches.
- Check your starting point Enter one total of usable radish seeds for both physical beds and all planned batches.
- Choose the next action Spend each owned seed once; a later bed receives only the stock remaining after prior requirements.
- Carry out the plan Calculate both bed maps and repeated sowings, then compare the combined purchase deficit with the original stock.
- Keep a useful record An allocation trail that prevents double deduction of the same seed packet.
If conditions change
- Both bed lists appear fully covered by the same insufficient stock. Review the single crop-level total, recalculate and use the combined deficit before placing an order.

Square bed spacing is the selected compact planting method. Container spacing describes root positions; foliage may spread beyond the pot. Seed quantities include 10% spare, with 2 small seeds per target and one bean seed per target. Follow cultivar packets if their spacing or sowing instructions differ.

- Sow2027-04-03 to 2027-04-17
Use a small round spring variety, not daikon; avoid sustained hot weather. Plant only when the seed packet and local weather conditions agree.
- Seedlings2027-04-06 to 2027-04-27
Thin early after emergence; a crowded root will not size well. Thin toward 128 positions at 76 × 76 mm when true leaves appear. Keep stronger seedlings. Re-sow gaps only when temperatures and remaining season are suitable.
- Tend2027-04-10 to 2027-05-21
Check swelling roots; maintain even moisture and clear any spent batch before re-sowing. Check moisture, surviving plants, weeds, support and visible crop stage; adjust to rain, heat and drainage.
- Harvest check2027-04-28 to 2027-05-29
Pull one sample root at edible size; remove woody or flowering plants before another batch. The 25–35-day range begins at direct sowing; check the cultivar and actual crop. Record what is actually ready; this estimate is not a yield guarantee.
- Clear / review2027-06-01 to 2027-06-01
Remove spent plants and check the soil before a successor starts. 7 harvest days and 3 clearing days are planning allowances; actual crop condition decides the changeover. Record actual harvests or losses. Keep healthy perennial clumps if you are not reusing their space; revise the next planting accordingly.

Remove spent plants and check the soil before a successor starts. 7 harvest days and 3 clearing days are planning allowances; actual crop condition decides the changeover. Record actual harvests or losses. Keep healthy perennial clumps if you are not reusing their space; revise the next planting accordingly.
- Recount surviving plants before buying replacements. Check remaining seed, seedling and growing-mix inventory.
- Review harvest and crop-loss records, clear or retain plants as appropriate, and update remaining stock before planning the next season.
Assumptions and sources
- Spacing is for the selected compact planting method; follow your cultivar packet where it differs.
- Seed allowance and minimum root-space limits are planning choices, not germination or yield guarantees.
- Dates are preparation windows, not forecasts. Confirm soil temperature, weather and actual crop stage.
- First fall frost is a conservative planning boundary, including for hardy crops. Continuing beyond it needs suitable local guidance and protection.
- Harvest and clearing durations are planning allowances. A successor waits for the final preceding batch to clear; actual crop progress may move those dates.
Fall plans use a 14-day buffer beyond estimated maturity. Successors wait for the final preceding batch, including its harvest allowance and clearing period. The lifecycle shows those crop-specific windows; the zone must actually be empty. Minimum sun and root-space thresholds are planning limits, with cultivar and climate variation.
