How to Plant and Grow Radishes Raphanus sativusI have a radish problem. No, it’s not a disease issue, nor am I battling with pests. I have an addiction.

Even if you don’t share my radish addiction, you surely must agree that there’s a reason you can find them in practically every backyard garden at some point.

They’re quick to mature, with some cultivars ready to harvest in just over two weeks, and they start reliably from seed. They can be grown practically year-round, plus they’re nutritious and delicious.
Things only get better once you bring them into the kitchen.
The roots and leaves can be used raw, cooked, or dried, in an endless number of recipes. You can even eat the seeds! And as microgreens, they’re ready in a matter of days.

A few weeks later, you’re dining on your delectable harvest.
