Radishes

I used to think that radishes were the perfect early spring vegetable. Then I learned that you can also grow them in fall and have been growing them for several months a year ever since. Because they’re so fast growing (seedlings typically emerge 3 to 7 days after you plant), they’re great candidates for succession planting, and you can get several harvests in a single growing season. Plant them between other crops, in containers, or anywhere you can find an empty space.

Radishes are typically grown for their spicy and peppery taproot. There’s so much variety: From the traditional globes to medium oblong shapes and longer daikon types. And you can find every color in the rainbow but blue, even black and white. Little-known fact: The entire radish plant is edible! Radish seedlings, or microgreens,
