Growing Radishes in the Garden

Posted by admin on May 5, 2011

Growing radishes in the garden can be quite satisfying. Seeds germinate in days and plants are ready in about a month to eat, no more than two months. The large benefit of growing radishes is that they grow quickly. The drawback is that if they are planted too close, they won’t develop well and are too skinny to eat. Snails and other bugs can eat radishes, but their leaves are fairly pest resistant. Radish seeds are pretty cheap, but I would recommend buying a larger packet since radishes are only harvested once. Radishes, if you let them go to seed, can sprout. Radishes like a good amount of sun. They can be planted in pots or in the ground.
