How To Grow Radish On a Windowsill (With Time lapse)

[@asayeed2853]

Just came across this. Such a useful video. Particularly helpful noticing what to expect regarding the shape of the leaves, as you talk us through. Thank you for posting!

Thanks I'm glad you found my video helpful, good luck with your radish plants.

Thanks for the time-lapse …. I am a beginner and clueless. Now I know what to expect to see, if I am actually successful.

Seeing how easy they are to grow, thoughts on letting some go to seed so you can keep them going without solely relying on buying new seeds?

[@Gardeningat58N]

Yes you can. They go to seed very easily so you can usually harvest the seeds around three months after sowing. Depending on what other varieties are around and how stable the cultivar is the new plants might vary very slightly to the original plants, this shouldn't be an issue at first, but after several generations the plants might not be as good. Always try to collect seeds from the biggest radish plants which go to seed last, that way you will select the plants with the genetics for good sized stems which don't go to seed too quickly.

I live in Ontario , and grow radishes,s in my basement with t-12 lights. I just pulled my seed crop. I bought one pack of seed about two years ago and have been running off them ever since. I let the first batch go to seed.. Be careful cause some seed packs have been genetically modified to wither before seeding (too many people catching on that it's cheeper to grow your own and the government controlled grocery stores were losing money) Or they have been dried out ( most seed only get so many generations before they become sterile). Not sure why, but it's a trend I have noticed which makes me wonder how there's any plants left on this rock if they eventually run barren.

Very informative- thank you. Time to give this a shot myself

It's too hot in my area so I definitely need to try to grow them indoors.

[@Gardeningat58N]

Yes high temperatures will cause them to flower before they form the edible part, so indoors with air conditioning is often best in hot countries.

They are about an inch long, and the first leaf hasn't opened, its just 1 long stem.Im a first time grower and doing everything iv been advice xx

Where are the seeds to the radish

[@Gardeningat58N]

The seeds form after the plant flowers, however you will want to harvest the plant before flowering as once it starts to flower its no longer nice to eat. You can always leave one or two plants to flower if you want to collect seeds.

[@andrewsavage9148]

How early can I sow these in uk? I was thinking late March?

[@Gardeningat58N]

Yes late march would be ideal, they can survive cold temperatures as long as it's not a hard frost. If your growing them indoors you can sow them as early as February if you have a sunny windowsill.

Thank you 💚

How tall can Radishes be?

[@Gardeningat58N]

It varies, small salad varieties are only about 3cm tall at the bulb with leaves up to 20cm. On the other end of the scale Daikon Radish can grow almost a meter tall at the bulb with leaves even higher up. If allowed to flower Daikon can reach over 2m in height.
