The #garden is starting to fill in. Still have to transplant winter squash and misc flowers and veg. Scapes are coming. Radish beds are getting replanted. Feeling a little burnt out already! #gardening #homesteading #grownostr

Looks amazing and super neat. What do you do with all your radishes?

Sell them at a few farmers markets. They are more popular than i thought they would be...

Have you roasted them? Sooooo good.

Yes, they are great. Sort of potato like with a little brussel sprout/brassica flavour

I will have to try that. I planted radishes again mostly because I wanted their tops but haven’t quite figured what makes a radish good yet. Does the roasting mellow them?

Yes it does. Cut them in half, toss with your fat and seasoning of choice and roast at 425 until brown.

Nice!

Impressive. Have you tracked how much time you spent getting that garden going?

Started in 2012. I have about 1/12th of an acre. I spend countless hours every year. But its less and less every year as i get more efficient and narrow down what works best for me. Always small scale experiments going on though...

Beautiful, inspiring.

How often do you water and for how long? I'm trying to grow radishes but haven't had much success.

I find radish only need a good soaking at germination. They can handle heat and drought ok, but intense heat might be a problem. Pests are a big issue. I cover with insect net. I prefer to grow hybrid types for market selling; better uniformity.
