Cherry Belle Radish planted April 11, havesting 3 to 5 per week. Radishes are just starting to show chew marks from creatures below, so it's a good time to get to them first! Radishes are rich in
ascorbic acid (Vit. C,
antioxidant),
folic acid (Vit. B9), and
potassium. They are also a good source of
vitamin B6,
riboflavin (vit. B2),
magnesium,
copper, and
calcium, among other minerals and vitamins.
California Poppies behind radishes (in above photo).
Bubbles Brussels Sprouts transplanted May 5 (above). Not sure when or how to havest these. Advice welcome!
Fordhook Giant Swiss Chard (lower left) planted May 2 and
Homesteader Peas (upper left) planted May 3. Planted
Tendergreen Improved Bush Beans May 28 (upper right, just off photo) where
Green Arrow Peas planted April 11 did not come up (planted too early). These beans are just coming up (June 21).
Oregano and radish harvest!

I am so jealous of your radishes. Mine were all top and no bottom. Not sure why. I read it could be too much shade or nitorgen.
ReplyDeleteThese radishes had about 6 hours full sun (on a sunny day). I've read they like lots of water. I watered them regularly. Not all of them turned out as good as in the photo, some were small and woody texture (maybe 30%).
