I am super pleased with my radishes this year. They are
now too big for the earwigs to hassle with. I didn't
look for two days and they have doubled in size! Yippee!
Something I can't kill!


they really are one of the easiest veggies to
grow.


Questions:

1) how will I know when they can be harvested?


i like the young sprouts better than the root
so for me it is "immediately". all thinnings
are yummy.


2) can I leave them in the ground and harvest them
at different times to keep them from spoiling?


in your heat/climate i suspect they'll bolt or
crisp eventually. the flowers are nice and there's
no downside to me in having wild radishes as a weed
substitute.
