Fruit radish growth cycle

The growth cycle of carrots is about two years. Its growth period is divided into two periods: the vegetative growth period and the reproductive growth period. The vegetative growth period can be divided into four small periods, namely the germination period, the seedling period, the leaf growth period and the fleshy root growth period. The reproductive growth period goes through the stage of low temperature in winter and warming in spring, and it will bolt, bloom and bear fruit in the summer of the second year.
