Watering depends on your type of soil. Right after planting, water seeds thoroughly as you’ll want moist soil down to 6 inches deep. Keep seeds moist until they sprout. Thin the plants to an inch apart soon after they come up. In normal weather and with normal soil, radishes should get an inch of water per week. (A trick: Put out an empty can of tuna and measure how much rain water falls to see if you get an inch.) In hot and dry weather, you’ll probably need to water more often. To see if soil is moist, put your finger in the soil up the first knuckle. It should feel moist, not dry.
