plant radishes?
Hi All,
I was thinking of planting rose radishes in my failed potato onion bed. Problem: I have to beet the earwigs to a plant large enough to survive them. Needs to be about four inches tall for them to leave along. (My earwigs will dig a hole down to eat a sprout that has not make it to the surface.) The earwigs some out about the start of June. So, the weather dips to 31F one out of four days a week. Is it too soon to plant rose radishes? Many thanks, -T |

Is it too soon to plant rose radishes? radishes are indicated as somewhat cold tolerant, but because they can grow so quickly and easily i'd not worry too much. just plant them in staggered plantings about a week apart and thin as needed. i much prefer radish sprouts over the radishes themselves. songbird |
