Thank you very much!
Thank you so much for the comment!
Great video! French Breakfast is my favorite radish! 😄
Definitely a favorite too. Thank you so much for your comment!😊
Wow looks so easy to do…can you eat the leaves? Tks for posting I will be buying some seeds
Definitely, leaves are very tasty and nutritious. They are very easy to grow, give it a try. Thank you so much for your comment and happy growing.
Wow great
Thank you so much for your comment!
Inspiring get-up-and-go video! Thank you! (P.S. I found watering the containers first prior to transplanting is easier ... ) Looking forward to new videos!
yes, that is a great tip! Thank you so much for your comment!
Nice
Thank you very much for the comment!
Can you do beets ? Thanks for the videos!❤
I already have posted one video on beets check here ua-cam.com/video/MZjVys7fL_Q/v-deo.html . I will try to share more videos on beets too. Thank you so much for your comment!
@@TowardGarden oh thank you I didn’t see it!😊
شكرا
Thank you so much🙌
from Belgium is watching
Fantastic! Thank you.
Wow! Never seen these type of radishes before; I've only seen watermelon radish and daikon radish, which is something I'm currently planting in my garden.
What is your mode of preparation for these radishes (eat raw, stir fry, etc)?
This is my favorite radish variety. They taste great and leaves are delicious too. We usually slice them raw in our salad. And daikon radish is definitely on my list and would love to grow it. Thank you so much for your comment and happy growing!!😊
Thank you for this tutorial! I'm going to thin my radishes tomorrow, is there any way to replant the thinned radishes? I feel wasteful throwing them out.
Thank you!
Radishes don't like to be transplanted and will likely die. But you can use the thinned seedlings in your salad as well. Good luck!
@@TowardGarden That's a shame. I have eaten a few as snacks though and they do taste delicious, so not all is lost! Thank you for your speedy reply! :D
@@catlover-fp5ig Wonderful!
Nice. Would love to see some problem and how to fix them videos too. Mine get eaten by rolly pollies.
I am a bit hesitant to post a general video on pests knowing every pest/disease has its unique solution, but sure I will add it on my list. For rolly pollies (and many root/soil bugs), one of the most effective methods is sprinkling Food Grade Diatomaceous Earth around the plants. I have it on my amazon page if you want to check www.amazon.com/shop/influencer-3dd9a3b6 . I hope this helps and thank you for your comment!
Great video! Would I be able to substitute the perlite for vermiculite? Also any fertilizer needed during growing process?
Yes, perlite and vermiculite do the same job and are interchangeable. Radishes are fast growing crops and if your soil is rich enough you won't need fertilizers. But if you think they need a boost, any water soluble tomato fertilizer would be a great option. hope this helps and thank you so much for your comment!
Great video! When you mention cool and hot weather are you meaning growing in hot weather or growing in cool weather? For instance if I start them right now in August hot 7a zone they’ll be hot? And if I grow them in cool November they’ll be sweet? I could only watch because I couldn’t turn on CC. Thank you for sharing. Simple yet informative.
Yes, you are right. If you start late fall (or early spring) they will be sweeter comparing to the ones planted in late summer. Hope this answers your question and thank you so much for your comment!
@@TowardGarden Thank you so much for your help! I'm going to try succession growing. planting in different planters about 3 weeks apart mostly so my husband will understand what I'm talking about. Fingers crossed. TY again
@@adriankap2978 Sounds great. Wishing you a great harvest!
Yummy...My bunny enjoys the tops!! I would like to grow on window sill...should i use grow lite?
Radishes need adequate light to grow roots. If you grow inside (even with grow lights), the roots won't be as big as in the sunlight. If you want to protect them from your bunny, cover the container with a garden netting, or place the pots in an elevated location. Hope this helps and thank you for visiting.
2:35 part. hello! I started this grow last week after seeing your video. Now i see that something has started to nibble on some of the little greens on top. I've looked on the internet and it has no asnwer so i came to you. Will the radishes that's had their green top eaten/damaged still be able to grow? What do you recommend as a natural pest repellant? #radish
Most probably insects and tiny worms are eating leaves. The best is to spray neem oil mix, or even better Spinosad mix. Both are organic and natural (check my amazon page for a list of natural spray I use www.amazon.com/shop/influencer-3dd9a3b6/list/XLDNRZO26ESK?ref_=aip_sf_list_spv_ofs_mixed_d ). Another option is to cover them with garden netting, but that is more preventative and I think it is late for that. If the damage is not extensive and roots are ok, once you spray the plants, leaves will regrow. Hope this helps and good luck!
Hey! I am just wondering what zone you are located in?
I am in 9b. Thanks for visiting!
Hola ,podrías especificar la mezcla del sustrato ? Gracias 🙏
Hi, watch video at 0:25 for soil mix. I mixed compost+coco coir+perlite (mezclar compost y perlita y fibra de coco). You can use potting mix too. Thank you for watching!
Is that the same container used in the nasturtium video?
Yes, it is the same type of planter.
@@TowardGarden that container is better suited for the French Breakfast radish
@wendyward2585 agree👍
After 35 days most of mine are only 3/4 an inch in diameter and the leaves only 1-2" long. Any tips advice? Also, should I harvest now or wait for them to grow to standard size?
Just to be clear the days I had it was just a guideline. Even for me it doesn't turn out to be same every time I plant them. Now to answer your question, it may be due to different reasons, but I am guessing you need to give them a little boost. Try feeding them with diluted water soluble fertilizers, organic tomato ones will do the job. It usually takes longer to get to this point. From here to fully mature will go quickly, so I suggest to wait a bit longer to enjoy full size radishes. Hope this helps and thank you for visiting!
@@TowardGarden Yes, that helps a lot, thank you. I really appreciate you taking the time to answer. I'll give it boost this week with some fertilizer.
Glad to be of any help. Good luck!
Do you plant thinned seedlings in another pot? Or they don't survive if you replant? Thank you
Now I saw you already answered that they don't survive. I thought I was bad at transplanting 😊
yes, you got it right. Usually roots crops such as radish, carrot,... don't like to be transplanted. You are doing great, happy gardening! 🌱😊
Ola boa noite, qual substrato vc utiliza
If you mean the soil mix, I used coco coir+garden compost+perlite. Thanks for visiting.
What size grow bag is that? Tks.
The grow bag is 7 gallon, 14 inch wide (shown in video at 0:18 min). Thanks for visiting!
Tks again
I planted 2 times the radishes in a small container and in 20 litres container with a good soil and a compost...but it grew only leaves without radishes at all even after 5 weeks...so sad. I think it needed more sun nevertheless it had enough spacing ..
It is either the light or the soil has too much nitrogen. For example if the soil contains too much manure, which is nitrogen rich, it will promote leaf growth and not roots. Adding bone meal will help plants to develop big roots. Hope this helps and thank you for visiting!
@@TowardGarden I just used regular potting mix (day 4, mine have just started sprouting) and I'm not sure how much nitrogen is in the soil. Should I add some bone meal to it now or is it too late/not worth it? I also have some seaweed solution but I haven't added it yet as I'm not sure if I should.
Thank you, this is my first time growing something from seed so I'm very excited!
@@TowardGarden i am watching but also reading comments and making notes. Learning so much! Thank you! Xx
@@stephyclaws So glad you found them helpful. Thank you so much!
@@catlover-fp5ig Adding bone meal is definitely a good idea. And yes you can also water with diluted seaweed once a week. You are doing great, keep it up. Wishing you a great harvest. 😊Thanks.
