Secret to the best radish dish. Cut in half or quarter depending on size and join them with brussel sprouts in half or quarter depending on size. Next spray them with the balsamic vinegar and sprinkle with garlic,salt,pepper,onion powder,thyme and olive oil and roast 20 to 30 min at 425
I let my remaining french breakfast radishes go to seed last year which was an incredible pollinator attractant and this year was gifted an incredible bounty of self-seeded radishes! I'll definitely be allowing a few to go to seed again this year!
I let a white icicle go to seed that I transplanted and it was massive. I feel like moving them makes them go nuts. Bugs loved the flowers and the birds loved the seed pods. Very interesting all around.
My one a half year old niece found the radishes in my garden, and loved them. One of my proudest gardener moments. Teething babies love radishes I guess haha. Grow on!
Kevin - Recently I placed my first order with Botanical Interests. I was pleasantly surprised to find the “Thank You” note and complimentary seed packet. It is little things like that which make a big difference.
Great tips! As a beginner I tried to grow radishes in containers on my north-facing balcony last November in Taipei Taiwan (about zone 11 for reference). Being in full shade they grew slower than the seed packet indicated, but they survived and I got ok harvests, just needed some mulching around the excessive grown seedlings to support them and 2x time and patience (I waited for 8 weeks instead of 4). Chopped the whole plants up - leaves and bulbs - for a hot-pot dinner and they taste nice! I'm looking forward to my 2nd crop of radish now and will continue to succession plant those until the weather's too hot for them. I'd like to point out that at 2:34 the watermelon radish variety Mantanghong the syllables should be man-tang-hong (滿堂紅) and translates into "all red for the family" - red is considered a lucky color and is used a lot in traditional Chinese new year decorations. So the name brings an "all good fortune and blessings for your family members" vibe.
As a chef that works in a exceptionally humid environment I'd recommend keeping your boos block under a weight that'll keep it flat. The boards going to swell and shrink with the weather but if you can keep it mostly flat under weight it'll last you many more years Than it should've. Much love keep the good content coming!
I use the radish greens to make a green soup that is a killer. I also put broccoli, cauliflower and brussel sprout leaves in there too. Hardly anything goes in the compost.
@@recordtapesbackward you can put in anything you’d like. The beauty of it is that you can get in your greens in a savory way rather than a sweet smoothy. Onions, garlic, celery, any greens you have in the yard and a bit of potato for thickening. After cooked, whiz in a blender.
I was wondering if I was the only one who favors using them in a salad or other dish. I kept yelling at the screen, "No, please don't throw them away. They are edible!" They are so good.
I had troubles getting the radishes to bulb out when I first started gardening, had massive leaves and nothing but taproot under the soil. I noticed you had a couple as well. I believe the main cause for this is dense, compacted soil. Radishes want looser soil to easily expand in. Maybe those Daikon varieties you mentioned don't care how compact the soil is so they can loosen it up, but these other varieties need a bit better quality soil.
I really enjoy these types of videos. While I am here for the Gardening content; I can’t forget the other half of gardening: eating! From the history to the planting to the harvest to the consuming. That’s the best content for me.
My most successful radish harvest was from a dense multi sewing. I thinned a small amount and snacked on the microgreens. The compost was loose enough, even radishes touching one another still developed nicely.
Mine haven't grown well at all this year so I'm glad this video has come out. Cheers! Also, the best way to cook them is whole with the leaves, grilled on the BBQ 😋
@@epicgardening it's a game changer! I also wasn't keen on radish until I tried to BBQ them. Season with olive oil, balsamic vinegar and salt and pepper.
I'm doing my first real garden bed this year and planted Pink Lady Slipper Radishes using your multiple per spot idea. It's been working great! They actually help me know when they're ready to pull because the bigger/ready ones seem to push themselves out of the soil above the other ones. So, thank you fo the tips!
@@chizick14 Honestly? I've never had radish it's raw form before. So, I'm not sure what it "should" taste like. XD But I do like the flavor. It's starts off with a bit of sweet, earthy flavor and then like a second after you bite into it, there's this strong sharp spicy to it. I've been using it in my salads for an extra kick to them. As far as growing... it's been doing awesome. No real pests so far and they seem to grow super fast.
Don't forget the radish greens are very edible. Better when younger, and you can harvest a few off each radish while it's growing. Also the seed pods are better eating then the radish in my opinion.
Everyone says they’re easy to grow but it’s very hit and miss in my garden. I get lots of leaves and hardly any root. The only time I got foot radishes was when I fertilized with a low nitrogen fertilizer. I grow in containers and raised beds with potting soil!
I love growing radishes, super fun and easy crop to grow, I didn't even like radishes before I grew my own and tried it now I love them 😂 such a difference in taste imo between home grown and grocery store varieties
Glad I tuned in. We planted radish in bucket with our cucumbers for 2 years now. No cucumber beetles around. Another thing about radishes. I hear people are eating it to heal the pancreas which regulates blood sugar. I don't know for sure. Do research.
In Germany radishes are traditionally eaten with bread for dinner or Brotzeit (literally bread time) which is usually eaten somewhere between 8 and 10am as a second breakfast.
If you're completely new to gardening it wouldn't be a bad idea to only sow radishes the first year just to find out if gardening is something for you. So easy to do, quick satisfaction and you can eat all parts of it so you get a lot of bang for you buck.
I love radishes! That peppery spicy flavor is so good. I love them in salads or with just salt on them. I should eat them more often. I've never eaten them roasted.
Because radishes grow so quickly, I use them in beds for slow-growing plants that later need all the space in the bed, such as courgettes, and I use radishes to mark rows, e.g. of carrots, so it is easier to see where they have been sown.
Yall making me feel crazy for just loving to pop em out of the dirt while watering each morning and eating em raw. If they even make it to the kitchen they go great with salty butter in a baguette
@@vmcshannon Loose fluffy soil, consistent moisture without mudding the substrate, and lots of sun. A little bit of phosphorus fertilizer halfway through and you will have them bulb nicely.
I grow radishes and beets to use for breakfast sprouts with my morning bagel, cream cheese, tomato and basil AND, I love giving my chickens the thinned out ones, along with the green tops at harvest!! The chickens are great little garbage disposals, and they turn it all into gold!! Their manure mixed into any soil is AWESOME
My wonderful fellow, I just harvested my first ever cucumber from my balcony garden and I just popped here to say thank you for your awesome tips! ❤️🥒❤️🥒❤️
Watching directly after picking some of my botanical interests french breakfast radishes this morning! They very the quickest variety by far I planted this year which is nice since living in MN our spring doesn't really start until May.
Where I'm from the most common way to use radishes is puting them in a salad - mix chopped radishes, onion leaves, salad leaves, a good amount of salt and sour cream. It's the best natural vitamin bomb in early spring
Kevin, with radishes that have tiny bite holes: “Any pest damage- I’m getting some here. It’s not the end of the world but it’s more than I would like.” Me, whose radishes have greens that look like Swiss cheese: 😬
Great vid as usual! I've not had great luck with radishes here in 9b. Last year I planted them in late spring. Some grew prolific greens but no bulbs before flowering. Others, I waited too long to harvest and they were woody. This year I started some mid winter with some success. Succession planted some more a few weeks later (cusp of spring) but they went to flower before ever developing bulbs even though the weather was cool. I like "seed to harvest" videos but It would be helpful to know the date when you started yours to better gauge optimum planting time considering that they don't seem to be a particularly good summer crop. BTW, watch all your videos: love your channel!
I grew a ton of radish my first year. I just never came around to them. I’m sure if I made them into kimchi it would be good, but I have very limited space. Keep it up Eric!
When i was young, my mother would clean radishes then separately, carrots and celery, thoroughly washing with dish soap, rinsing very well, cutting off ALL greens and tops/bottoms (celery and radish roots) and then she had a lot of old jars, like PB jars. She'd fill the jar with one rype of veg, fill with water, and pop in the fridge!? Was this not a good way? I'll tell ya, they were always prepped, icy cold and delicious so they never lasted long enough to find out, I guess. My dad just loved munching on them!! I vaguely recall maybe the same method with their fresh grown rhubarb (a crop I've not seen your channel cover!!?) but I may not be remembering correctly. We had a patch growing in the corner of our garden bc my dad loved strawberry rhubarb pie. Oddly, we never grew strawberries!!!!! Our only fruit was a plum tree. HA!
Oh, I love radishes now that I have learned I can eat them just fine just buy baking them. I don’t need them or a E baked. They are so good. I love them.
I did the trick with the daikon radishes to break up compacted soil. Not sure how well it worked, since I've just let that patch run wild. They ate up to my shoulders with dainty white & pink flowers, and the pollinators are loving them. I'm going to try harvesting the seed pods for salads
I need to try shading mine. I grow them inside in hydro with no problem. But I think my outdoor ones were held back because it was cold, then next thing you know... hot at heck! But, I love them roasted!
I just checked my radishes and they are starting to flower but don't yet have enough of an edible root. What caused this? Heat? Not enough water? Will the root continue to grow if I pinch off the flowers?
Family radish tradition from North Dakota - always had a dish of fresh radish at the table with dinner - otherwise, que my grandfather saying something to the effect of “why cant we ever get a radish around here” (so dramatic) and then my gramma going to the fridge and putting together a plate - with a side of salt. Always, with EVERY meal. ;)
Would a 5x5 cm container (10cm deep) be able to provide for 1 radish? I eat a kind of icecream that comes in a plastic container and was wondering if I could use them for radishes
I was never a fan of store radishes. I grew lady slipper and french breakfast this year and liked them. I did like the lady slippers more. Also, pickled radishes are delicious
The radish leaves are delicious in a potato and radish leaf soup. Sauté onions and then garlic. Add vegetable broth and cut potatoes. Season with salt, pepper, crushed red pepper, and thyme. Cook until potatoes are tender and add in chopped radish leaves. Simmer for a few minutes. Then blend with an immersion blender.
"scraps to the chickens" looks like you have some growing to do in the kitchen. The greens are amazing, young leaves I like raw and the older ones simply sautéed in ghee with some salt pepper
i failed to grow radish (pink lady slippers) at first year of my garden in containers (excessively watering/fertilizing), and they came out a really tiny bulbs with huge leaves.. I'm going to grow them again this year, and i hope i can harvest the healthy sized bulbs!
I've heard that temperature affects the spiciness of radishes -- they seem to be sweeter in cold climates and spicier in warmer weather. My husband is very sensitive to the taste, so I have to be careful about variety and season when deciding when to grow. I've also heard that planting the seeds deeper can result in a larger root size, but I have yet to experiment myself. I do know that all of my radishes that volunteered in the garden this year didn't form round roots at all, and maybe that's because the seeds just fell on the soil surface rather than being buried deeper.
Secret to the best radish dish. Cut in half or quarter depending on size and join them with brussel sprouts in half or quarter depending on size. Next spray them with the balsamic vinegar and sprinkle with garlic,salt,pepper,onion powder,thyme and olive oil and roast 20 to 30 min at 425
Thanks!
Never had radishes cooked or roasted before. I'd give it a try.
I'll have to try this. Thanks 😊
Roasted radishes are the best thing ever.
Daikon chips.
I let my remaining french breakfast radishes go to seed last year which was an incredible pollinator attractant and this year was gifted an incredible bounty of self-seeded radishes! I'll definitely be allowing a few to go to seed again this year!
Great to know. Thanks. We have perennial daylilies. Pollinators love them and they are close by our Roma that have tomatoes already. Zone 6b.
I let a white icicle go to seed that I transplanted and it was massive. I feel like moving them makes them go nuts. Bugs loved the flowers and the birds loved the seed pods. Very interesting all around.
You can eat the fresh seed pods, when still green, very tasty (there is a variety called rat's tail with extra large seed pods for eating)
My one a half year old niece found the radishes in my garden, and loved them. One of my proudest gardener moments. Teething babies love radishes I guess haha. Grow on!
My grandma told me about this one last year and it's actually really good: radish sandwich, buttered bread, thinly sliced radishes, salt and pepper 👌
True Radish and butter 🧈
Good with peanut butter added too
Exactly!
Tell me you lived through a world war without telling me you lived through a world war grandma. Haha
The great depression must of been rough 🤔
Kevin - Recently I placed my first order with Botanical Interests. I was pleasantly surprised to find the “Thank You” note and complimentary seed packet. It is little things like that which make a big difference.
Last year I discovered roasted radishes! Prepare like a mini potato in a bit of oil. Top with herbed butter. Absolutely delicious!

Pickled, or sautéed, the pods are like little spicy beans. Delish!
What variety of radish do you do this with?
I did it with a white icicle.
Arugula, radish, strawberries, blue cheese, pecan salad!!!😊

One of the only crops I've had success with in Oklahoma. The short harvest time is perfect since the weather is unpredictable

I like yo leave about 2” the green top on the radish. This provides a bit of a “handle” to hold on to if you are slicing the radish. Hope this helps.
