How to grow

Place a tray with holes inside a tray with no holes. Fill the tray with holes with an inch of fine compost. Compact the compost. Spread the China Rose Radish seeds evenly over the compost, leaving a small bit of space between each seed. Press the seeds into the soil. Water the seeds and soil. Place a tray with no holes on top of the seeds and soil. Add roughly 4kg of weight into the tray, so the seeds are kept pressed into the soil. After 3–4 days the China Rose Radish microgreens will be pushing the weighted tray into the air. Remove the weighted tray. Water the microgreens from the top. Place them under a grow light, onto a window sill, or into light in a greenhouse. Once exposed to light, water each day by pouring water into the bottom until day 6–8. Between day 6–8, harvest all of the microgreens using clean scissors or a sharp knife. Store the harvested microgreens in the refrigerator.

Harvest and enjoy

Cut the shoots with clean scissors at the recommended stage and use them fresh while their texture and flavour are at their best.
