મૂળા

• Radish (mooli) needs loose, well-draining soil so its roots don't meet resistance as they grow.
• Choose a spot with at least 6-8 hours of daily sunlight.
• If growing in a container, use one deep enough for the roots to grow long and straight.
• Sow seeds directly where they'll grow, radish doesn't transplant well.
• Plant about 0.5-1.25cm deep, spaced 10-15cm apart.
• Water immediately after planting and keep the soil consistently moist, especially through the first week.
• Water regularly to maintain moisture, but avoid overwatering, which leads to excessive leaf growth and woody roots.
• For a continuous supply, sow a new row or two of seeds every couple of weeks through the growing season.

• Eaten raw in salads, pickled, cooked into curries and parathas; the leaves are also cooked in many cuisines.
