I have no luck with radishes
Exactly what I was looking for today! Thanks!
I grow lots of radishes. Always wondered if the tops would be good. Thanks for sharing
Great video! Seed saving from radishes is easy too.
The easiest crop I grow. Also fast growing. I pickle them and also roast them. So yummy.
I learned a lesson today about a Variety I was unfamiliar with called Rat tail. I planted it the green section grew to 2 1/2 feet tall with a heavy dose of beautiful small flowers. I waited and waited and waited finally thinking that they must be ready so I pulled one finding a small root about 2 1/2 inches long, Nothing like the photograph on the envelope I thought I was just being impatient so I wait another couple of weeks pulled one of the radishes and had the same thing a very small root, so I’m staring at the radishes I noticed that the rat tails in the picture on the seed envelope are the same but they were Growing above ground each Individual plant had three or four tail radishes each. The description didn’t say that they grew above ground.
Great video Jeff…would a Fish Emulsion be good fertilizer for the once feeding?
Over 90+ here in Michigan. Hell of a yr. so far. chipmunks, raccoons, deer, opossum ground hog. We set a live trap for the ground hog, caught one, it was a BABY! So, let it go, now we have to figure out what to do!! We sprayed hot sauce… he eats a TON! Ruined my cabbage : ( SO upsetting!!
Row cover!!$$$ We have to garden like our life depends on it, because it does. Oh, and NO rain.
Don't you all feel sorry for us?😭❤

Radishes are always a magnet for flea beetles, i finally got a crop in, planting in a cold frame. Seedlings were just big enough to survive the intense infestation with some help from diatomaceous earth. I have almost no arugula that survived their attack.
I still have a nice space in my raised garden beds, so I only have to get some seeds.
#1 secret to growing radishes is Ripe Tomato Farms videos!
Love the garden quickies, short sweet fun and to the point! Keep em up! I did lots of experiments with container radishes this year. I managed to grow cherry belle and french breakfast varieties in as little as 3 inches of soil in containers which took the same amount of time as my 6 inch containers. Only downside was more frequent watering. I let one of them flower and it's currently 85 cm tall and going lol, can't wait to try the pods and save my own seeds.
Roasted radishes are my favorite 🌿 Drizzle with a balsamic reduction…oh, my!
what does it mean if you do all this but the radishes just dont grow, or if they grow its only the green tops a little… my radishes just wont grow… I guess its the soil but Im not sure how to ammend that… I have kale growing fine in the same soil so it seems like greens are doing ok which means its a soil high in nitrogen? so what would I need to add to make the soil grow beets or radishes? thanks Jeff!
Never knew the tops are edible! This year my rads are struggling to grow. In a plastic container that has many drainage holes. Soil is loose. I hit it with an application of 3-3-2 agro-thrive. It perked them up some but still not quick growing. We are having an unusual late May and early June with nights in the lower to mid 40'sF. Uugghhhhh. Thanx for another great video.
I have a hard time growing radishes (and beets) going to give it another shot by planting some seeds today. I love the ending with your little ladybug friend ❣️
I grew my first French Breakfast radishes this spring! They were so good! I want to grow more!
