Harvesting Fall Radishes & Planting Tips for a Cool Weather Vegetable - TRG 2014
Tips, Tricks
Radishes are cool weather crops. They can be planted in many areas in both the spring and fall. They mature in about 25-35 days. I now plant them about 2-4 inches a part and I don't really add fertilizer. Check out my vegetable gardening blog: The Rusted Garden. It is filled with garden information, videos, pictures, seed catalogs and seeds & things I sell. www.therustedgarden.blogspot.com Join My Google+ Gardening Community called Our Tomato & Vegetable Gardens - we are approaching 5000 world-wide gardeners: https://plus.google.com/communities/114956817444053979636 or Link from My YouTube Page.

Gary, I like radishes, but I use them so infrequently. Do you use them only for salads, or do you have other ways of incorporating them in some other types of dishes? Thanks.

I planted radishes in a raised bed and they're not growing. The bulbs haven't grown at all and the leaves stems are 3 inches tall with small leaves. They have also been growing for 5 weeks in full sun. I live in a very warm,humid climate and the type of radishes is 'Champion'. Please help me figure out how to make them grow better.

I canned radishes last year as an experiment; they tasted like little bite sized turnips

I planted my radishes a few weeks ago, but because of the cold weather, he did not have time to ripen

My first batch in spring did not turn out good.Planted to close together and not thinned sufficiently. Just planted again in mid-Sept and thinned properly. Looking forward to big fat radishes. You sir a an excellent teacher.

We try to succession plant them about two weeks apart almost year round, especially if we have a mild winter. You're right, they don't do well in the heat of the summer, but we plant them in the shade of larger garden plants, such as tomatoes, beans and peas. Plant them on the north side of the larger plants to get the greatest benefit from their shade.
