Radish Vegetable Seeds Packet
Radish (Raphanus sativus) is a fast-growing root vegetable prized for its crisp texture and peppery flavor. Easy to grow and quick to harvest, radishes are a popular choice for vegetable gardens, raised beds, and containers. Rich in vitamins, fiber, and antioxidants, they are a versatile addition to salads, sandwiches, stir-fries, and pickled dishes.
How to Grow Radish from Seed
Sowing and Germination
Direct sow in early spring or fall in well-draining soil. Plant in full sun to partial shade. Germinates in 3-10 days at 10-24°C.
Care and Harvest
Keep soil evenly moist for best root development. Harvest when roots reach the desired size, typically 20-40 days after sowing. Succession sow every few weeks for continuous harvests.

Standard paper seed packets are permeable to oxygen and moisture -- the two primary causes of seed degradation. Most paper-packaged seeds begin losing germination viability after approximately one year, contributing to significant garden-industry waste: packets purchased, not planted, expired, discarded. Shido Seeds are hermetically vacuum-sealed. The packet does not expire quietly in a drawer. It waits.
Every Shido seed packet is illustrated in the style of Japanese 1910s woodblock printing -- designed and drawn in-house by Chive, the Toronto ceramics studio that has been exhibiting at the Chelsea Flower Show in London every year and does not, as a matter of principle, sell to big-box retailers. Customers collect the packets as a series. This was not the original plan.
