So, today I harvested some radishes from the garden, one variety was Cherry Belle and the other was White Icicle. Cherry Belle and White Icicle are ready to eat from seed in about 28 days. When planting radishes, make sure to thin out seedlings. Make sure they're a good 2-3" apart, depending on what variety. I found that the ones better spaced apart matured faster. The seedlings that were too close were slow to mature or never developed. Harvest radishes when younger, if you wait too long, the radish can become spongy and hot. If radishes show signs of cracking, you waited too long. Oh, and don't waste those radish greens, instead turn them into a salad or stir fry.
