How to Save Seeds
Radishes readily cross-pollinate with other radish varieties. To maintain varietal purity, separate different radish varieties by approximately one-quarter mile whenever possible.
Because radishes grown for seed require a second season to flower, gardeners in northern climates typically plant seed in spring, while gardeners in southern climates often plant in fall to allow proper overwintering.
During the following growing season, plants will send up flowering stalks that develop numerous seed pods. Allow the pods to mature fully and dry naturally on the plant before harvesting.
Once the pods have turned brown and completely dried, harvest them and remove the seeds from the pods. Store seeds in a cool, dry location for future planting.
