Planting Carrots and Radishes

Rose| Category: carrots, radishes | 0 Comments

It is a good idea to plant carrots and radishes in alternating rows as the radishes come up much earlier than the carrots and will remind you where the carrots were ;) Both vegetables can be planted as early as 25 days before your frost date.

CARROTS IN ROWS:

  • 1/4 inch deep
  • 1/2 inch apart
  • 12 inches between rows

RADISHES IN ROWS:

  • 1/4-1/2 inch deep
  • 2 inches apart
  • 6 inches between rows

As the radishes will be gone by the time your carrots need the space, you can plant the radishes in between the carrot rows, thus saving space.
