    I just took a quick look and most Pests that eat radishes attack the 'foliage' not the root so I would say you have some type of RODENT in your tunnel. I believe a 'Mole or a Vole' could attack the root from UNDER the ground and nibble on your radishes. You may have to dig that bed out and see it there is a 'tunnel' underneath your soil. I have no idea how to get rid of them once they are in your garden. I mostly 'container' garden but will be putting in some beds this spring and intend to put a 'Wire Mesh' under my beds. This will inhibit some root growth but may well keep mice, voles & moles out of my beds.

    Absolutely an abundant harvest.congratulations on the carrots 🥕🥕 🥕. I can’t wait to experience this. I’m already planning my spring garden. 🪴 I’m having hubby build me more raised beds. I looking forward to the next season. Happy growing ❤😊

    I am new to your channel, but have been binge watching. You are such an inspiration. I have been wanting to start gardening and watching you and others gladden has truly encouraged us to step out and start out garden. Thank you as well for your Azure Standard hauls along with your others vlogs.

    Barbara thanks for sharing.
    I think my whole fall garden is stunted but you have encouraged me.
    My carrots, beets and most of my radishes hasn’t done anything. I planted in September. My greens, spinach and kale are struggling.
    I was so disappointed.

    But I have decided to leave most of it in the ground and see what it does. I have plastic over my hoops so if it last until spring maybe they will take off then.

    Oh my goodness your "Bugs Bunny Carrot" was perfect.🥕🥕Kale for days WOW. Dehydrate your Cilantro. Your Lettuce, Collard Greens and Bok Choi looked amazing. Huge Congrats on your Beautiful Harvest. Be Blessed and Have a Wonderful Holiday Season.🙏🏽💙🙏🏽

    When I heard you say how do you detour a rabbit I just laughed. I got up every morning and had a rabbit sleeping under a tomato plant. My husband started to scare him one day with a b b gun and my 5 year old Grandaughter said you can't shoot him. He said I promise I am just trying to scare him off. She said promise you will not shoot at that sweet little bunny again. He did not and honestly it never bothered anything just slept under that one plant. I would go out in the morning and he would look at me and stretch and slowly hop off. We no that little girl runs this place lol

    For your cilantro if you don't have a dehydrator you can put it in the oven on the lowest temperature and dry it out then crumble it up and put it in a jar. It will be shelf stable and use it as a dried herb. Rabbits got some of my broccoli too but I planted too thick so they just thinned it out for me.

  27. @bhalliwell2191

    You've not yet tried hot pepper spray (hot peppers, or hot pepper flakes, mixed in a blender or a food processor to make a thin slurry; put that in a spray bottle and give your broccoli or other plants a good spritzing)? If mammals who are hungry are desperately hungry, they may eat your broccoli or other crops despite the hot pepper. (I don't spray: I dust with the ground hot pepper powder or the flakes which I purchase from a restaurant supply store.) You should also be aware that this will not deter insects or their larvae, nor will it keep birds from pecking at the leaves or the fruit because birds don't have taste receptors for "spicy-hot" as mammals do. (That, by the way, is how "squirrel-proof" bird seed is produced: it is coated with capsaicin from hot peppers, the squirrels don't like it and the birds aren't bothered by it.)
    It sounds kind of a mean thing to do, but it will give the local rabbits a distaste for your broccoli plants.
    I should also mention that you do have to re=apply the hot pepper after a rain, a sleet storm, or a snowfall (won't harm the broccoli!) or after overhead watering, because there are always new bunnies coming along to sample your garden's offerings.

    Wear disposable gloves and keep your hands away from your eyes, nose and mouth and any other sensitive areas. Wash your hands thoroughly after working with the hot pepper spray or powder or flakes and discarding the gloves.

    Radish greens, at least the ones I've planted and harvested, do have a prickliness after a certain stage which is earlier in a radish's maturation than "too long [in the soil]."
    Your radish was eaten at the top, not the bottom or directly into the sides, so to me this suggests that whatever bit into it bit into the "shoulder/s" of the radish, above the surface of the soil. Can you see tooth or teeth marks in the radish flesh?

    You can interplant or "intercrop" plants which use up different garden space: Riotte gives the example of planting kohlrabi and beets together (alternating rows, somewhat closely spaced) because the beets make the edible root below the soil surface while the kohlrabi primarily uses the [air] space above the soil and we treat it like a root crop but what we eat is the swollen stem. Their respective maturation dates are fairly close together so they're generally considered to be "same number of days" as close neighbors.

    You might want to allow some of your cilantro to go to seed; harvest the seed for the next sowing, and keep some once cured for coriander, no?

    The Lord does indeed provide exceedingly abundantly above all that we ask or think!

    Much gardening love from Ohio! 😊💚💚💚😊

    There are bugs eating your radishes. If it is a mole, you will see holes close to the plant. Also, you can pull carrots at any size. the leaves are more tastier than the root itself.

  31. @vivianmitchell3769

    Sometimes radish leaves or I should say some varieties of radishes have prickly leaves. You had a great harvest and I too am after that elusive carrot harvest!!! You have given me hope!!! Love your channel!!!

  32. @joycewilson3620

    Yes, radish leaves ARE prickly. It could be slugs that ate it or even mice, based on where it was eaten. Moles & voles usually eat from the bottom up. Other than that they radishes look & would be very good, even at that size. The radish tops are edible like all of the greens. Radish can be roasted, sauteed with the leaves or eaten raw.

  33. @gretawardley9739

    Girl I was screaming about that carrot 😃, I knew you had more, I can’t wait until mine get that size, your harvest is amazing 😃😃
