[@vitagreenlee5788]

Radishes were the first thing I harvested this year in a container, it was very rewarding indeed. The next batch wasn't so great, got some pretty red "roots". This time I will use the Black Cow, I think the Miracle Grow had too many nutrients for radishes. Thank you so much! I love y'all! I watch you every night that I work to pass the time while I'm working, Please keep doing what you do!

[@HollisNancysHomestead]

+Vita Williams Thanks for watching! Yep, radishes don't need any kind of fertilizer at all. They do better during the cool months. They are woody and want to bolt during the hot months

[@Loretta_Goff]

Hi Hollis, You're becoming my "Go To Guy" for gardening questions.. 1) Would they have gotten bigger had they been left in the ground or would they just have gone woody? 2) Since the grow so quickly, would it be a good idea to pop 2 seeds in each hole so you don't get bald spots.. 3) Why couldn't you plant them closer together as in 2 inches apart and staggered? You could have gotten five more rows out of the same space, no? My Dad loves radishes and thinks gardening is a waste of time.. I would love to take him a bunch of them and say here you go, for the cost of a few seeds.. And, hello again from Toronto area.. Loretta

[@HollisNancysHomestead]

+Loretta Goff Thanks for your vote of confidence!! 1) any longer and they would get tough, split and/or bolt. They taste best with soft texture at about 28 days. You get some big ones and some little ones. You can selectively harvest the big ones and let the little ones grow a little longer but keep an eye on them. 2) I don't do that. Don't want to have to thin them after they emerge. Planting 60 at a time still gives you a lot of radishes even with less than 100% germination 3) I like to give them room to expand and plenty air between plants. Dense packs usually leads to leggy plants with no bulb and all tops. Less is more. Living in a cool climate like Canada, you can replant after harvesting several times.

That seed hole jig is amazing. I’ll have to make one but just a 12” x 12” for the kids to help with planting and to be a bit more flexible with various sized gardens. Thanks, love the videos. PTL!

[@onthewingsofluv]

I love this! Thanks for the video and instructions. I’m about 2 weeks into my first radish crop & I can’t wait to harvest and eat them! I’m wondering if you’ve ever had cooked radishes? They are delicious! I just boil them whole until they are tender, drain them & add a little butter, salt & pepper. The flavor is like a cross between potatoes and turnips. So good.

[@luciatheron1621]

I just take what I need and let small ones grow. I also leave the odd one for seeds. The bees love the flowers. The seed pods when young are delicious. I do succession planting and continue with radish for at least 9 months of the year. Thanks

hi hollis, why don't you put a bucket or something similar under the washing station so you can reuse that water for watering plants? we should be very careful and don't waste water because it's such an important resource and in many places there's a big shortage of it. cheers from italy and thank you for the video. p.s. you could also eat the radishes leaves, they are full of nutrients and you can find a lot of recipes on internet :)

And don't forget about the radish greens, they're perfectly edible too. You can eat them alone or throw them in with other things. You can eat all of this except that little root tip.

I love to see videos with people who are not afraid or embarrassed by mentioning our Heavenly Father! I bought some type of radishes off of eBay. It’s been 6 weeks and I have greenery but don’t see the radishes. I planted in a mix of black cow/compost then mulched. Do you think I should pull the mulch off and add more black cow? I’m in The panhandle of Florida so 8b. Thank you! - Karen

[@johnpulliam1165]

Hollis, not sure if you do this or not, but the greens are edible. They have the same flavor as the radishes and help extend the salad you put them in.

[@HollisNancysHomestead]

+John Pulliam I know they are edible but we simply don't like them. Nancy is looking into some Korean recipes with them that may make them a little more sexy.👍

[@johnpulliam1165]

My wife had never tried a radish......so when she took a bite of a Champion Radish, she was taken aback by the bite of it. Once she put them in the salad, with the greens, she did not notice the peppery bite and actually enjoyed it. We tried a French Dressing Radish and those did not produce at all.

[@HollisNancysHomestead]

+John Pulliam We grow several different types of radishes. I love them cooked in the crock pot with a pork roast!!!!

Greetings from Montana! I have been gardening for 45 or more years and I have to say I have learned a lot from watching your videos in the last week! One thing you did not cover and it looks like you do not have this problem-worms(fly maggots) in the radishes. I have tried all kinds of things to prevent them, nothing works well. Any suggestions?

[@ItsJustJerFromJersey]

Mine too, I’m gonna lettem go as I’m getting a little bigger but I think I may go a little shallower when I plant.

[@agdayem]

Hi there. Try keeping the soil moist for radish in the top 6 inches because that’s where the radish is (it’s a shallow root crop). I think they like to sit in moist soil most of the day (logically makes sense since they’re a cold weather crop and usually it’s rainy and cloudy in the time they grow) BUT do not over water because if you do you may cause the root to rot. How? Take a lump of soil in your hand from the top 1-2 inches of soil in the morning and squeeze. If it’s too wet and drips then it’s overwatered. If it’s too dry then it’s dry and you’ll know. Aim for in between: moist but not dripping wet. Lastly, avoid adding high nitrogen fertilizers because they will promote leaf growth at the expense of root growth. Usually you don’t have to fertilize radish at all. Haven’t tried bone meal but could make sense since bone meal is high in phosphorus which is good for root growth and radish are a root. Let us know you results please.

Thank you for making this channel it has helped me a lot. Sadly only my blueberry bush made it through the season. It won't produce for another year or so. But I'm watching a few of your videos to plan for next season and I am wondering if y'all know how to get seeds for radishes. Like if you don't want to keep buying seeds from the store. Do seeds for radishes come from the green part like the carrots or do they come about some other way?

They produce seeds on the tops if you let them bolt and dry. I usually buy my seeds from Baker Creek Seed Company and they last me a couple of years

Hello Hollis and Nancy Let me start with letting y'all know that I'm in love with your channel. I've started my own garden this year. But I had such a big problem growing kale and radishes. The caterpillars and slugs ate them all, what do you do to keep them from eating yours?

[@HollisNancysHomestead]

+Grace E. (CreateMotivate) We are so glad you love our channel!! You are now part of the family😍😍. I grow cabbage in the fall. This is downstream of peak insect activity. To control any insect activity I see I use 2 tablespoons of Neem Oil, 2 tablespoons of liquid dish soap to one gallon of water. Spray this solution on your plants. Drench them thoroughly. Repeat after a rain and or once per week until activity ceases.

Can you make videos for people that want to grow a plant for the seeds? Some people don't know that if you grow some plants long enough, that you can also harvest seeds to help for the next season. Instead of buying seeds every year, you can actually grow your own.

[@HollisNancysHomestead]

We have some videos that does show how to harvest seeds for the next year on our urban homestead. I will talk to Hollis to make new videos with more information on harvesting seeds to grow which is a great ideal during this time in life. Blessings

SO AFTER YOU PLANT THE SEEDS AND WATER IT ONCE, YOU DON'T WATER IT AGAIN?

[@Golden_Hephaestus]

Late comment but you 100% need to keep it at least moist so it's easier for the bulbs to form. I watered them only a couple times till they were ready only because we had so much rain. But i wouldnt say you need a schedule or anything for them, just make sure the soil is moist/wet (obviously not too wet, or else you can rot the radish seeds etc)
