Secret to the best radish dish. Cut in half or quarter depending on size and join them with brussel sprouts in half or quarter depending on size. Next spray them with the balsamic vinegar and sprinkle with garlic,salt,pepper,onion powder,thyme and olive oil and roast 20 to 30 min at 425

I let my remaining french breakfast radishes go to seed last year which was an incredible pollinator attractant and this year was gifted an incredible bounty of self-seeded radishes! I'll definitely be allowing a few to go to seed again this year!

Great to know. Thanks. We have perennial daylilies. Pollinators love them and they are close by our Roma that have tomatoes already. Zone 6b.

I let a white icicle go to seed that I transplanted and it was massive. I feel like moving them makes them go nuts. Bugs loved the flowers and the birds loved the seed pods. Very interesting all around.

@bettinafoertig7011 6 месяцев назад

You can eat the fresh seed pods, when still green, very tasty (there is a variety called rat's tail with extra large seed pods for eating)

@valkyrise1148 Год назад

My one a half year old niece found the radishes in my garden, and loved them. One of my proudest gardener moments. Teething babies love radishes I guess haha. Grow on!

@Grogg22 Год назад

Kevin - Recently I placed my first order with Botanical Interests. I was pleasantly surprised to find the “Thank You” note and complimentary seed packet. It is little things like that which make a big difference.

@A7XisWord Год назад

I had troubles getting the radishes to bulb out when I first started gardening, had massive leaves and nothing but taproot under the soil. I noticed you had a couple as well. I believe the main cause for this is dense, compacted soil. Radishes want looser soil to easily expand in. Maybe those Daikon varieties you mentioned don't care how compact the soil is so they can loosen it up, but these other varieties need a bit better quality soil.

@virginiatibbetts1551 Год назад

I use the radish greens to make a green soup that is a killer. I also put broccoli, cauliflower and brussel sprout leaves in there too. Hardly anything goes in the compost.

@recordtapesbackward Год назад

what else do you put in it? veggie broth? something to make it more filling?

@virginiatibbetts1551 Год назад

@@recordtapesbackward you can put in anything you’d like. The beauty of it is that you can get in your greens in a savory way rather than a sweet smoothy. Onions, garlic, celery, any greens you have in the yard and a bit of potato for thickening. After cooked, whiz in a blender.

Great tips! As a beginner I tried to grow radishes in containers on my north-facing balcony last November in Taipei Taiwan (about zone 11 for reference). Being in full shade they grew slower than the seed packet indicated, but they survived and I got ok harvests, just needed some mulching around the excessive grown seedlings to support them and 2x time and patience (I waited for 8 weeks instead of 4). Chopped the whole plants up - leaves and bulbs - for a hot-pot dinner and they taste nice! I'm looking forward to my 2nd crop of radish now and will continue to succession plant those until the weather's too hot for them. I'd like to point out that at 2:34 the watermelon radish variety Mantanghong the syllables should be man-tang-hong (滿堂紅) and translates into "all red for the family" - red is considered a lucky color and is used a lot in traditional Chinese new year decorations. So the name brings an "all good fortune and blessings for your family members" vibe.

@angelaphan3346 Год назад

We enjoy the radish pods more than the radish roots :) Pickled, or sautéed, the pods are like little spicy beans. Delish!

Don't forget the radish greens are very edible. Better when younger, and you can harvest a few off each radish while it's growing. Also the seed pods are better eating then the radish in my opinion.

@Nurse_Nuggets Год назад

My most successful radish harvest was from a dense multi sewing. I thinned a small amount and snacked on the microgreens. The compost was loose enough, even radishes touching one another still developed nicely.

@PandaTheGreen Год назад

If you're completely new to gardening it wouldn't be a bad idea to only sow radishes the first year just to find out if gardening is something for you. So easy to do, quick satisfaction and you can eat all parts of it so you get a lot of bang for you buck.

@jm3517 Год назад

I just harvested some of those Cherry Belle radishes and it’s the first radish I’ve actually enjoyed!

@adricortesia Год назад

In Germany radishes are traditionally eaten with bread for dinner or Brotzeit (literally bread time) which is usually eaten somewhere between 8 and 10am as a second breakfast.

The chickens are great little garbage disposals, and they turn it all into gold!! Their manure mixed into any soil is AWESOME

@MsWDWFAN1 Год назад

I love radishes! That peppery spicy flavor is so good. I love them in salads or with just salt on them. I should eat them more often. I've never eaten them roasted.

@Gartenlust Год назад

Because radishes grow so quickly, I use them in beds for slow-growing plants that later need all the space in the bed, such as courgettes, and I use radishes to mark rows, e.g. of carrots, so it is easier to see where they have been sown.

@MMuraseofSandvich Год назад

I've always had terrible results with root veggies, so I'm a bit green with envy that you're making them look easy. 😅

I agree. So jealous. I’ve planted all of those. Rarely get one to actually bulb.

@m373x Год назад

@@vmcshannon Loose fluffy soil, consistent moisture without mudding the substrate, and lots of sun. A little bit of phosphorus fertilizer halfway through and you will have them bulb nicely.

@sarahlarkin213 Год назад

Everyone says they’re easy to grow but it’s very hit and miss in my garden. I get lots of leaves and hardly any root. The only time I got foot radishes was when I fertilized with a low nitrogen fertilizer. I grow in containers and raised beds with potting soil!

I'm doing my first real garden bed this year and planted Pink Lady Slipper Radishes using your multiple per spot idea. It's been working great! They actually help me know when they're ready to pull because the bigger/ready ones seem to push themselves out of the soil above the other ones. So, thank you fo the tips!

@chizick14 Год назад

How is that variety?

@kcthonian Год назад

@@chizick14 Honestly? I've never had radish it's raw form before. So, I'm not sure what it "should" taste like. XD But I do like the flavor. It's starts off with a bit of sweet, earthy flavor and then like a second after you bite into it, there's this strong sharp spicy to it. I've been using it in my salads for an extra kick to them. As far as growing... it's been doing awesome. No real pests so far and they seem to grow super fast.

@MSpahnable Год назад

I love the radish pods so much more than the root. Big bang for your buck!!

@davidmikolajczak9361 Год назад

I like yo leave about 2” the green top on the radish. This provides a bit of a “handle” to hold on to if you are slicing the radish. Hope this helps.

@maureend9755 Год назад

Great vid as usual! I've not had great luck with radishes here in 9b. Last year I planted them in late spring. Some grew prolific greens but no bulbs before flowering. Others, I waited too long to harvest and they were woody. This year I started some mid winter with some success. Succession planted some more a few weeks later (cusp of spring) but they went to flower before ever developing bulbs even though the weather was cool. I like "seed to harvest" videos but It would be helpful to know the date when you started yours to better gauge optimum planting time considering that they don't seem to be a particularly good summer crop. BTW, watch all your videos: love your channel!

@michellejester9734 16 дней назад

When i was young, my mother would clean radishes then separately, carrots and celery, thoroughly washing with dish soap, rinsing very well, cutting off ALL greens and tops/bottoms (celery and radish roots) and then she had a lot of old jars, like PB jars. She'd fill the jar with one rype of veg, fill with water, and pop in the fridge!? Was this not a good way? I'll tell ya, they were always prepped, icy cold and delicious so they never lasted long enough to find out, I guess. My dad just loved munching on them!! I vaguely recall maybe the same method with their fresh grown rhubarb (a crop I've not seen your channel cover!!?) but I may not be remembering correctly. We had a patch growing in the corner of our garden bc my dad loved strawberry rhubarb pie. Oddly, we never grew strawberries!!!!! Our only fruit was a plum tree. HA!
