They say radishes are a very easy to grow cool weather crop, they also say radishes only take about 30 days to grow and mature...
Turns out, they fib. I decided to toss a 20¢ pack of seeds into my half barrel planter back in March (I thought I wrote the date down...
um, apparently not. It was around St. Patrick's Day, the same time I planted my peas). The idea being they'd have plenty of time to grow and be pulled before I planted warmer weather veggies around May 15th. I pulled these out on May 11th, giving them about two months of growing time. The largest one is only about 3/4".
They are HOT-HOT-HOT!
I say it all the time, whether jalapenos or radishes, homegrown are always hotter than store bought.
And while these little guys are cute, they are pretty dry.
So, my radish experiment didn't go as well as I would have liked, but it was still kinda fun to watch.
On to the bigger veggies:@)
Have a happy day!
