In Southern New Mexico, you can plant them year round except you may want to shade them all summer. Sun is brutal and they dry out in a few hours if you don't either water 5 times a day or mulch the top to keep moisture in. This year greenery took a beating with 106* for almost 3 months, even the Chili pepper farms had big trouble. I'm originally from New England and this was a tough learning experience.
Thank you! Thank you! Thank you! for doing this video! Radishes are one of my ABSOLUTE favorite crops to grow. I've grown about 8 different varieties and just learned something else new from watching this video. You're a Godsend. 😊
First like! I love this video. I grew radishes with my kids and they loved how quickly they produced! I didn't get enough to do much with them, but our bunnies really enjoyed munching on the ones the kids picked! Thanks for your consistent, informative videos! Love watching 🤩
Woohoo! Love that Jamie! And if you want to keep the bunnies away you can simply pop a cage or structure over top of them to create a physical barrier - works really well!
S. California. My Chinese Red Meat radishes bolted very quickly, before the bulb even developed. It hasn't been hot here at all. Do you happen to know how I can avoid this in the future?
Hi, I growing them in a pot in India, do all raddish push their head up, my raddish are now 34 days old, heads not showing as yet but the leafy part is very healthy
Interesting! I would keep an eye on them over the next couple weeks, some varieties take longer than others. You will notice it beginning to form soon!
Same exact thing happened to me last year and just read they don’t like nitrogen and all you’ll get is green tops. They prefer depleted nutrient soil. I’ll be using last years soil mixed with leaf compost since both are very low in N. I had all of them in fabric planters with great all new excellent quality soil and got zero.
Sorry to say but I just couldn’t do good with radishes until I I started thinning BUT I didn’t use a grid board And when I thinned if in doubt of what to leave I went on the thinner side Last batch of German Giants this year I thinned about 3” or a little less Pulled the last ones in the middle of October here in east central Nebraska Some were as big as tennis balls and still weren’t hot Felt a little strange to eat a radish the size of a small apple 🖖
I am in Langley Bc and I am STRUGGLING with rats. I don’t have compost or bird feeders or anything. Just raised beds. And I can’t keep the rats out! Help! What do you do??
Oh no! So for rats they are obviously living elsewhere and then coming into a part of the garden before eating away at something. So, a physical barrier is needed to block them from getting into the garden. Probably the best material to use for this is chicken wire as it's small enough that they can't get through and sturdy enough that they won't be able to eat through it. Furthermore, when establishing new beds you could put chicken wire down at the bottom of the bed covering the ground and this will serve as a physical barrier preventing anything from getting up and through the bed! :)
Well, maggots won’t get them if you grow the, in planters or raised gardens, I think they have a higher chance of getting your radishes if you plant them in the earth, sprinkle cayenne pepper into the garden so they won’t get it if they do somehow find a way
Oh no! I haven't run into any sow bugs myself unfortunately. I would poke around on Google and see what the most common approaches are and use that as the starting point
Woo hoo! Absolutely, it's always a good idea to thin the radishes out so they have enough space to develop and grow well. I usually leave about 1.5 inches between each other. Thanks for watching!

Glad I watched this before I thinned my radishes. Thank you!!
Thanks for watching :)
Your passion for gardening is evident in every video. 🌺
Didn't know 3 seeds together could make it, will give it a try
Yeah definitely give it a go and let me know what you think!

You are so welcome! I love radishes too!

Thanks for sharing!
Do you use straws?
Great video on growing radishes. I just harvested my first and it was excellent. I will give your tips a go. Thanks.
I!I've never seen wicked shaped radishes like your's.
Great tips! Thank you!
Hi my first crop of radishes were very small like 1 inch and less. Do you have any advice.
Thanks for the tips. Happy to give the 800th thumbs up. Cheers
Great video as always, Jord!
Yeow!
My radishes are flowering and it's beautiful
Can you grow radishes in June or July in zone 7 and still get a harvest?
Very informative video. jazak Allah
Have you tried leaving some radish to go to seed? The young seed pods are delicious!
Thanks for the video!!

Hi! Thanks for this video, it was super helpful! I’m wondering though, your advice when it comes to transplanting radishes???
Don’t transplant, they are a taproot, sew them directly
I started some radishes in peat pots so I wouldn’t disturb or expose their roots. It worked. Hope this helps!
Don’t forget to breathe, Jord 😉
Hahahah ooopsie!

Don’t use fertilizer. Radishes will grow lush greens when fertilized. Also Radishes prefer cooler time of year.

Beautiful video Thank You. if I was a pest I'd sure like to know where you live pal. Don't get woody radishes 😃

Tried this method. Didn't thin them and got noting but foliage.
What is your growing zone ?

What’s the secret to preventing maggots from enjoying my radishes before I get a chance to?
Well, maggots won’t get them if you grow the, in planters or raised gardens, I think they have a higher chance of getting your radishes if you plant them in the earth, sprinkle cayenne pepper into the garden so they won’t get it if they do somehow find a way
My radishes get eaten by sow bugs. Any tips to get rid of them
Oh no! I haven't run into any sow bugs myself unfortunately. I would poke around on Google and see what the most common approaches are and use that as the starting point
Ok ok ok! I have a question. Why????? are you touching the soil to check for moisture? Why didn't you mulch for moisture retention?
Hey! Great question, I don't mulch around my radishes to allow soft soil for them to form well :)
@@MindandSoil ok. I'm still learning 😊
This is my first time planting radishes, shouldn't I thin them?
Woo hoo! Absolutely, it's always a good idea to thin the radishes out so they have enough space to develop and grow well. I usually leave about 1.5 inches between each other. Thanks for watching!
thank you. never put three seeds together!
