Radish is the dig you plant when seed risk must stay near zero — a common 19-base root that finishes fast enough to teach weight² before you burn fertilizer on rarer vegetables.
At 1 kg the sell prompt is 19 Sheckles. Four kilograms equal 19 × 16 = 304; ten kilograms equal 19 × 100 = 1,900 before any mutation. That squared jump is why a clean 10 kg radish teaches more than three 2 kg roots with flashy icons.

Radish has a base value of 19 Sheckles at unit weight. Because sale value scales with weight squared, the table below shows the raw sell and the same crop with Golden or Rainbow growth applied at common harvest weights.
| Weight | Raw (no mutation) | + Golden (20×) | + Rainbow (50×) |
|---|---|---|---|
| 1 kg | 19 | 380 | 950 |
| 2 kg | 76 | 1.52K | 3.8K |
| 5 kg | 475 | 9.5K | 23.8K |
| 10 kg | 1.9K | 38K | 95K |
Short cycles favor cheap environmental padding such as Wet (×2) during rain. Growth still allows only one slot — Golden (×20) for practice payouts, or Verdant (×7) if that is what lands first. Do not hold Wet hoping to add Frozen later; those tags conflict.
Keep one or two radish tiles as a live kilogram laboratory. Plant, fertilize, dig, check the crop value calculator, and replant. Skip blizzard camping on this crop — maturity is too short to justify Frozen risk when the lesson is weight, not env theater.
Carrot and potato teach related dig habits, but radish’s 19 base makes mis-sells cheap. Use it to confirm your pets and sprinklers actually move kilograms before you expand turnip or potato beds.
If your digs stall under 6 kg, fix fertilizer and pathing here. Moving to higher bases without fixing that ceiling only hides the same problem behind a bigger seed cost.
Once turnip at 21 base and potato at 22 base hit your target kilograms reliably, radish’s hourly ceiling becomes the bottleneck. Keep a single calibration tile if you like, and move bulk fertilizer to the higher commons.
Trade chat rarely prices common radish. Sell for liquidity and treat the crop as practice gear, not a listing headline.
