The best varieties of radishes for open ground, greenhouses and home conditions: what are the best seeds of early, mid-ripening and late vegetables?

The radish variety must be selected depending on the maturity, conditions for cultivation and the geographical location of the place. For many gardeners, this choice is not easy.

Radish is a vegetable crop grown in many countries. Especially this culture has taken root in Russia. Thanks to breeders, there are many different varieties that can take root in different conditions.

Criterias of choice

When choosing the best variety, the gardener should pay attention to such criteria:

The geographical origin of the hybrid is taken into account. The most common for Russia is the European radish. All types of this vegetable are common in countries belonging to the European continent. On average, the growing season reaches 30 days, the rosette is usually six-leaved, and the weight of the root crop is 30 grams. There are also varieties that are bred in China or Mongolia. There are a lot of such species.
The shape of the radish resembles a cylinder and the root crop is lighter. Vegetable growth lasts one and a half months, and the mass is 200 grams. Due to the geographical origin, root crops differ in structure and in the aerial part.
Of great importance is the growing season. Here the division goes: into annual plants, when both crops and seeds can be obtained only in one year and two-year-olds, when only root crops can be obtained in the first season.
All varieties of radishes are divided into three subspecies: early ripe, when the crop can be harvested in a month, mid-ripening, when technical maturity occurs more than a month later, later, when the fruit ripens in more than thirty-six days.
In the criteria, the gardener can take into account the color and taste of the vegetable. There is green radish, originally from northern China. Its taste is sweet, not too sharp, and the flesh itself is yellow - green. You can grow black radish at your site; it tastes more spicy and no less aromatic. The most common is white radish, which has a pleasant taste and is great for long-term storage.
Any variety of radish is chosen by the gardener, taking into account the place of planting. If the vegetable will be planted in open ground, the early varieties that are resistant to different weather changes will be considered the best. For greenhouses, you should stop your choice on varieties that can grow normally in poor lighting.

Reference! For regions such as St. Petersburg and Moscow, varieties that calmly take root in Siberia are best suited. Considering that the climate conditions there are much more complicated and there is not much time for ripening, the best varieties can be considered Deca, Ilka, and Variant.
