The importance of choosing the right radish for planting

It would seem that in greenhouses there are all conditions for a successful planting. Heat and high humidity are what you need for a successful cultivation.

Not all varieties of radishes are able to take root in such conditions, so it’s worth it to be very responsible for the choice.

A variety of root crops, which are capable of sprouting and give a really rich harvest, should have the following qualities:

• the possibility of growth in dark areas.

The difference between greenhouse and non-greenhouse vegetables
