Radish
Do you have radishes on your property? this is a very healthy vegetable. I am one of the first to plant it in the spring. And I collect the very first harvest from it. But there are different varieties.

I am always one of the first to plant radishes in the garden. I like two varieties: “18 days” and “Icicle”. The first one ripens very quickly, and the second one is more tasty and juicy and can be stored in the refrigerator for some time.
I heard, and they also write here, that especially tasty radishes grow in a greenhouse, I’m going to build one too, I think there’s room there not only for radishes...
My wife and I harvest three crops per season. Radishes are a vegetable that ripens very quickly and can be planted several times. The main thing is not to forget to water it on time so that the tuber is juicy and large.
We plant the first radishes in a greenhouse, and then in open ground. I adore it so much that not a single salad is complete without it in the summer.
I love radishes so much, but for the last year some kind of worm has been eating them. We look at the leaves in the hole, and when we pull them out, the stalk is eaten away. It’s some kind of nightmare, we don’t know what to do.
I always prefer to plant early varieties of radish, among them I give preference to Zhara and Lyubava. I like that they are very juicy, but you need to remember that no matter how bitter the radishes are, they need to be moistened in moderation.
I also prefer the "18 days" variety. I also once planted the “Red Giant” variety. Wonderful, very productive and most importantly, not bitter at all.
I really like the French Breakfast variety.It is early ripening and has very good taste. We also tried to sow radishes in the fall, but not a single variety turned out well. They say she doesn't get enough daylight.
Everyone here loves radishes, but for some reason, some varieties are very delicate, worms love them very much, so we fight as best we can. Maybe we are over-watering it.
Somehow I always thought that it didn’t really matter what variety of radishes were planted, but this year I was convinced of the opposite when we grew simply terrible radishes: small, stringy and bitter.
Our children really love this vegetable. Firstly, they can plant and care for it on their own, and secondly, they absolutely love to eat it.
I see that everyone’s radishes produce excellent fruit, but this is the second time I’ve planted them and I don’t see any results at all... I tried different varieties, unfortunately I couldn’t find another place... Tell me, are there any special features?
I don’t know, maybe it depends on the variety. Twice I had a wooden one that grew small, but last year some pests attacked it and devoured it all, so I no longer feel like growing it.
Radishes grow quite well here. To keep it from being small, the root crop needs to be watered, weeded and fertilized. In addition, this vegetable is sensitive to light and low night temperatures.
Similar story. I also tried different varieties and fertilized them differently, but small radishes always grow. I think that a lot depends on the soil, I have a plot of land on a peat bog and although I have improved it and brought in a lot of soil and sand, the peat still makes itself felt.
Of course, the soil affects the radish yield; it must be loose. In addition, when watering the root crop, you can feed it with compost several times. At night, beds with radishes must be covered with plastic wrap, because in April the nights are cold.
Our whole family loves radishes too. And the children really like to grow it, so we made a mini-garden in the kitchen, where we experiment with new varieties and decide by summer what we will grow.
try Cherryette radishes! what I planted for 20 years is nonsense compared to him! large and terribly tasty! and without voids and not fibrous! In general, I recommend it from the bottom of my heart!
I liked the Violetta variety. Very tasty and juicy radish. The peel is purple, the flesh is white, crisp with a good taste and a subtle specific bitterness. Grows quickly, large.
I tried planting different varieties of radishes and with good lighting in the bed, sufficient fertilization of the soil, regular watering and covering the radishes with film at night, from frost, they all grow well and grow very large. Don’t forget to thin out the garden bed, otherwise the radishes will be small.
No, radishes require normal watering, and we often have problems with water, so we don’t plant more than one bed; of course, we need to worry about water supply next year.
Radishes will grow even with little watering of the garden bed, but they will not be large; in addition, with such cultivation, the bitterness of the root crop will be much greater than that of radishes with good watering.
