Radish Seeds are the cheapest thing on Pierre's Summer shelf and the simplest way to keep soil working. Six days from sowing to pulling means one tile can be turned over four times before Fall arrives, and the packet costs so little that a wide field is affordable in a first Summer. The best use of the packet, though, is filling gaps: a spare week of soil between two long crops is exactly one round of radishes. The Magic Shop Boat carries the packet in Winter as well, which is the one chance in the year to buy Summer seed out of season.


Growing

Six days of watering and the plant is pulled once. The tile then wants a fresh packet, which is the whole point of a seed this cheap.

The short cycle makes the sowing window unusually forgiving. A packet sown on the first morning of Summer is ready inside the first week, and replanting on each pulling day fits four full rounds into the season. The twenty second of Summer is the last morning a packet can go in and still finish before Fall, so even a late change of plan costs nothing.

That same speed is what makes radishes the obvious filler. A tile freed early by a quick crop, or one waiting on a Keg row to come round, carries a round of radishes without upsetting anything else on the farm. Speed-Gro tightens the cycle further and can buy a fifth round on soil planted on the first day.

What the rows will not do is carry a season. Radishes return a thin profit for each day they occupy a tile, well behind the bigger Summer crops, so the value of the packet is in the soil it keeps busy rather than in the money it ships.

Buying

Pierre's General Store stocks the packet through Summer and is the cheapest counter for it. JojaMart carries the same seed for a quarter more.

On the sixteenth of Winter the Magic Shop Boat at the Night Market sells Radish Seeds at the General Store price. A farm that spends that evening on the beach walks into Summer with its filler rows already bought and paid for.

The Traveling Cart offers the packet occasionally, at a price that makes no sense at all for a seed this cheap.

Clint opens Mystery Boxes for a small fee, and a stack of Radish Seeds is among the prizes. On a packet costing this little the stack is a pleasant surprise rather than a plan.

Mixed Seeds sown in Summer sometimes come up as radish, which quietly fills a tile that was never bought for it.

Uses

A Seed Maker will turn a radish back into packets, but the machine earns far more pointed at something expensive. Radishes are cheap enough to buy outright, and their real role is keeping a Seed Maker free for melons, pumpkins and anything else worth the queue.

A packet shipped rather than sown returns half of what Pierre charged, so buying a few spare is almost free.

Nobody wants a bag of radish seed as a present. Every villager who reacts to it dislikes it.

Notes

Buy radish packets in bulk on the first morning of Summer and keep them in a chest beside the field. Replanting on the same morning as a harvest is the difference between four rounds and three.

Keep a stack back for the Greenhouse and the Ginger Island farm. The season stops mattering there, and a six day crop will fill any gap that opens in the rest of the year.

Sow the filler rows where the watering is already covered. Four rounds of radishes is four rounds of daily walking if the tiles sit outside everything else the farm tends.
