    Daikon radishes will start pushing themselves out of the soil, when they're ready. The leaves are also delicious and Daikon radishes make some huge greens. I fry up a couple slices of bacon and when done, pull the meat and set aside. I slice up some onions and a clove of garlic and cook in the grease until soft. Add the radish leaves, mixing it well in the skillet. Crumble up the bacon on top. Simply delicious!

    Also, if anyone has too many radishes, they can go in stew like potatoes -no radish heat left. Also we clean all the greens and chop. Using them in green smoothies, add to soup, chili. And freeze for adding to any dish.

    We planted a lot of seeds too close together and didn't do anything else. Just harvested them all today, they turned out great! I was amazed how easy that whole process was lol. Most effort was in cleaning them, didn't even have to water them.

      I did the same but forgot about them for I think an extra 30 days. Some of the greens were 1.5' tall and falling over. The stems turn spikey like cucumbers or pumpkins. Those huge greens had nothing below. Some of the smaller plants had decent size raddishes.

    I discovered that radishes have been growing on their own in my defunked garden since 2011. I just started planting stuff again recently and HEY there's already something growing all by itself. Pretty cool.

    Great video! Very thorough. I planted my radishes using Charles Dowding’s multi-sow method (4 to a space), and they grew to their full size. I’m trying it with turnips too. Sometimes one grows faster, and you can harvest that one and leave the others to continue growing.

    For mine, the stalkiness of the stem is more an indicator than the leaves. Always fun to watch a harvest! Thank you!

    Thank you for this video. I loved all of your examples that you shared. I seeded my first radishes a couple weeks ago and I didn’t realize yet that there was a “sweet spot” when harvesting. Glad I found your video - I appreciate you!

    First of all.. I just pulled my very first harvest (one lil adorable cutie radish 😭♥️) of the season!!! The others look like they can go a couple more days so I grabbed the smallest one to do a lil bit of a taste test to see where we’re at 😋 lmaoo
    Second, I was told they should be planted quite shallow out of the ground.. so that the plants can focus more energy on the veggie than the leaves/greens?! Idk how true this is!!
    But once I saw how fast the radish grew, (it’s my first garden I’ve done in a over decade.. so I’m very, very excited 🤣 and admittedly.. probably a lil impatient 🙃) I pretty much immediately started another batch ! So I’m doing a little experiment.
    The second batch were planted extremelyyy shallow. So far, the greens look great, but they’re definitely growing at a slower rate than the first batch! I wish I could post pics here but the greens on the first are pretty tall, thick, luscious.. so idk!! We shall see how this goes.
    Like I said, I pulled the smallest one out.. the others need a couple days but they’re looking pretty hefty tbh lolol if they end up tasting great, and something ends up going amiss with the second batch (pretty much been able to see pink since the leaves started getting bigger 😅) then I’ll know!
    Again, first garden in over a decade lmao. I really wanted to learn as much as humanly possible. Make a lot of mistakes.. watch a lot of UA-cam videos, take little pieces of advice here and there.. so if they’re not great, I learned 🥰
    Excited to check out your other videos and see what I can learn from you!!! ♥️ love watching all different kinds of gardening UA-camrs to help with my learning :)

    I had the biggest radishes from the smallest plants and the biggest plants grew like trees and the thin radishes were very hard. I trimmed the biggest plants,but nothing changed. I don't know whether to harvest them though, because they're planted between two rows of tomatoes and the tomatoes love them (moisture and defense from insects).

      How cool is that! I’ll be trying to grow patio tomatoes in fabric containers so I’ll try adding some radishes with them just to help keep the pests away. Today I’ll be winter sowing flower seeds in water jugs just to see what happens. Planting calendula officianalis near strawberries will attract the pests away from the fruit like aphids etc so I can maybe get a decent crop. We’ll see. Anyway, thank you for sharing.

    Thanks for showcasing the radish in all of its persona and character. One of the first crowded boxes I tried to grow as a novice was a variety of radish..and I must say I've yet to find a seed that germinates faster..Are they all like the early globe varieties?
    Anyway, the greens grew super fast but the actual vegetable did not do so ggod in 50 to 60 days, but I used a hybrid planter that waters from below the soil surface, which leads me to question exactly how much water is too much water..
    This season we are planting all the way into July in hopes of late fall growth, but my main motivation for growing radish or turnip greens would be as a decoy for all of the wildlife preying on the peas..Don't get me wrong, I'd love to grow radishes to eat, but I'm guessing later in July is pushing to get super healthy veg growth by mid fall or slightly after..

    if you wanted to plant more just let 2 or 3 keep growing and they should grow seed pods that you can dry and harvest

      They look just like the seed packets I get from Botanical Interests. I've had good luck with their seeds.

      @Gardenary  2 роки тому +3

      It'll be similar! Feel around the shoulders for growth once you've passed the time specified on the seed packet. The good thing is you can pull one, and if it's not as big as you'd like it to be, leave the rest to grow a little longer.

    Reading the packet is not a 'sign' that the radishes are ready. Also, what if you didn't grow them from seeds, but from seedlings?
