When to plant daikon radish
Daikon is a cool-season root crop that grows best in spring and fall. In North Carolina, sow seeds mid-February to early April for a spring crop and August to mid-September for a fall crop, succession sowing every two weeks (NC State).
Daikon Radish is timed by season rather than your frost dates, so the planting calendar does not generate ZIP-specific dates for it. Check the cited sources below to fine-tune for your area.
