How to Grow Bora King Korean Radishes
Choose a location in your garden with full sun and good drainage. Sow seeds in bands 18 to 24 inches apart, and thin seedlings four to six inches apart once they have grown. Keep consistently moist. Fertilize as needed.
Harvesting Bora King Radishes
After about 60 days or when radishes begin to show their shoulders above the soil, harvest them by gripping the base firmly and pulling straight upwards. If the radishes are difficult to pull, try loosening the soil around the plants with a shovel. Try to avoid ripping the leaves, because they are also edible! If you struggle with this, try cutting the leaves at the base to harvest, and then dig up the radishes separately.
