Questions
When should I plant radishes in California?
In San Jose, sow outdoors from November 28 to January 9. Across California the window opens between November 27 and November 26, depending on the local last frost.
How is this date worked out?
Sow outdoors from 5 weeks before to 1 weeks after the last frost; sow again for fall 4–6 weeks before the first frost. Frost dates are NOAA 1991–2020 averages for the weather station nearest each city.
