Try sautéing the greens. They go great with olive oil and pepper.
I'm rather partial to a cheese and radish sandwich with lots of butter.
I love to add radish to curries for a delicious tasty crunch.
Iove radishes but often get no bulbs and all greens. Would love to know how I can prevent this. Any help out there? Kevin?
My favorite are the radish pods. If you pick them Yung and eat them fresh out of the garden they taste like a spicy pea
The leaves are also great for salad, sort of like kale.
I was never a fan of store radishes. I grew lady slipper and french breakfast this year and liked them. I did like the lady slippers more. Also, pickled radishes are delicious
Do you like radishes for a cover crop? Its in a mix I use and I like the flowers that come off them. I've been just using my cover crop also as ornamentals.
I let my remaining french breakfast radishes go to seed last year which was an incredible pollinator attractant and this year was gifted an incredible bounty of self-seeded radishes! I'll definitely be allowing a few to go to seed again this year!
I use the radish greens to make a green soup that is a killer. I also put broccoli, cauliflower and brussel sprout leaves in there too. Hardly anything goes in the compost.
I tried to grow radishes but rabbits at the seedling right after they came up ????
Right on point
I just pulled my first two
Chives, radish, cottage cheese, sea salt…. on toast. Anyone else? Mmmm.
My one a half year old niece found the radishes in my garden, and loved them. One of my proudest gardener moments. Teething babies love radishes I guess haha. Grow on!
So far I have failed to grow any radish 4x. Early the year before last, Beginning and end of last season, and this seasons are going either. We tried the early ones first then I bought new seeds last year (watermelon and black) and this year I tried all three. I get small greens and then nothing. This year the watermelon and black are bolting too (I’m in PNW so it’s not even that hot). It really sucks when all you hear is it’s such an easy crop, and I love to eat them, and I can’t even get any.
radishes like the cold and grow so fast they'll probably be the first thing you eat out of your garden every year
My radishes never bulb up????they produce lots of leaves but don't bulb. What am I doing wrong?!?
The greens are delicious in salads or sauteed and very nutritious! 🙂
I just checked my radishes and they are starting to flower but don't yet have enough of an edible root. What caused this? Heat? Not enough water? Will the root continue to grow if I pinch off the flowers?
Mine keep bolting and it hasn't been that warm 🙁
As a chef that works in a exceptionally humid environment I'd recommend keeping your boos block under a weight that'll keep it flat.
The boards going to swell and shrink with the weather but if you can keep it mostly flat under weight it'll last you many more years Than it should've.
Much love keep the good content coming!
I start french breakfast radishes in 128 cell trays 3 per cell then plant out at 6 inch spacing . This allows me to plant them in successions in the prime real estate in my limited raised beds
I love radishes. Probably my easiest and most profitable crop during cool season.
I like yo leave about 2” the green top on the radish. This provides a bit of a “handle” to hold on to if you are slicing the radish. Hope this helps.
My radishes have all bolted extremely quickly don't really know how to get them the bulk up
I ate some of my Crimson Giant radishes this past week in a Mongolian Beef dish.
My problem with radishes is that older seeds when planted goes to flower directly without any radish done, grow big, a loads of leaves, pods are eatable sometimes.
I saw something on the internet that said you could store radish in a jar of water in the fridge. What do you think?
I didn't read the directions on the seed packet and didn't realize they grew sp fast.
