It can take months before you get to enjoy the product of your work. But if thereâs one vegetable that challenges that idea that gardens take time, it's the radish. The delicately spicy radish comes in an array of colors, shapes from little round globes to foot-long carrot-shaped, and is about as no-fuss as it gets in the garden. But the best part is that most radishes will go from seed to table in three to five weeks! In home gardens, radishes make great companions to numerous vegetables, but especially carrots, since the quick-growing radish helps loosen the soil for the long roots of the carrot. [Radish] Take a deep dive into the world of radishes in Radiant Radishes: The Complete Guide to Growing, Cooking, and Eating Radishes. You can learn about different types of radishes, find out how to grow them, and get several delightful recipes highlighting the Radiant Radish! Grab your Radiant Radishes right now so you can plan your season! This comprehensive guide begins with an Introduction to Radishes, which offers a brief history of this gem. You can also find out how radishes are connected to the ancient Greek god Apollo. Then be sure to check out the Feature Articles about Radishes, including: - Types of Radishesâ Radishes come in a large range of lengths, shapes, sizes, and colors that span the spectrum of red, pink, yellow, white, and even grey or black. Their roots can be rounded or long, and they can be quite small or grow even larger than carrots and parsnips.
- Growing Radishes from Seeds or Seedlingsâ Radishes are easily sown directly in soil outside. There is no need to sow them indoors in pots because you can plant them before the last frost, and because they grow so quickly that youâll be able to grow many rounds before the season is over even if you start late.
- Sun and Soil Requirements for Growing Radishesâ Radishes donât like the heat. The only heat-resistant radishes are summer radishes, such as Rover, French Breakfast, Icicle, and Sora. These radishes can all withstand warmer temperatures, but even they will be adversely affected by hot, dry summer weather.

- Planting Radishes in the Ground or in Raised BedsâRadishes can be planted directly in the ground or in raised beds, four to six weeks before the last frost. The benefit of growing directly in soil is that you have more room to work with than in a raised bed or container, and youâre less likely to get root rot because the soil has space to breathe.
- Growing Radishes in ContainersâThe benefit of growing radishes in containers is that you can also control your light source, and when the summer becomes extra hot, you can move radishes to a cooler spot where theyâll be happier.
- Watering, Weeding, and Fertilizing your RadishesâHow much water do radishes need? How often should you weed? Do you need to fertilize your radishes? Find out in this article.
- Harvesting your RadishesâHarvesting a radish is about as easy as it gets. Simply pull straight up! Youâll know your radishes are ready when they have begun to peek up above the soil line, but the best way to know is to pick one and try it!
- Storing and Preserving your RadishesâLeaving any radish out on the counter for a few days will result in wilted greens and shriveled bulbs. Storing them in your refrigerator crisper isnât great either, although they can last about a week in there. Hereâs what to do.
- Dealing with Radish DiseasesâRadishes are susceptible to various fungal diseases, however theyâre quite the tough crop. Because of their short growing period, they donât have much time to develop some of the more complicated diseases that others in the Brassicaceae family do.
- Dealing with Radish PestsâPrevention is always the best medicine. Keeping a close watch on your plants during regular daily inspections will help you spot any pests before they can do irreparable harm. Healthy radishes can bounce back from pest damage if you catch the pests quickly.
- Essential Tools and Equipment for Growing and Enjoying RadishesâGet the full list of essential gardening tools for growing radishes. Then discover five of the most popular varieties radishes, so you can choose the best ones for your garden, including: - Miyashige Radishâ For a daikon stunner, try the large white Miyashige radish.
