Seeds for Bees 2023 Project

Radishes are one of those first treats to come from the spring garden. There is nothing like pulling out a colorful root veggie, giving it a little dust and polish, and biting into it before it has a chance to see the kitchen. Did you know you can also enjoy fresh radishes in the fall, as well? In this article, I’m going to explain the difference between spring and winter radishes, and share some tips on growing radishes from seed for a spring crop and for a fall crop. Timing your radish seeding is simply a matter of counting forwards or backwards to frost-free and frost dates.

I maintain that buying seeds is truly the best kind of shopping—seeds are relatively affordable and are literally bursting with potential. Quite frankly, I think seeds are a miracle; you get a small envelope of little hard things, you sink them in soil and nurture them, and before you know it, you get beautiful free food. Seeds are the antidote to a broken food system and the epidemic of being disconnected from what we eat.

The latest trending motif in design? Nature everything! That’s probably why wood and faux bois garden stools are everywhere right now. Yes, a stylish tree stump is the chicest place to sit or display items. They can be used in the garden, of course, but they’re great for the home, too. They add a little bit of warmth and a natural aesthetic to any room, from a spot to set a coffee cup or table lamp in your bedroom, to an extra perch for a houseguest in your living room, to a place to display a candle or diffuser in the bathroom for a spa-like feel. And in the garden, well, they just blend in and become the perfect spot to sit and enjoy some fresh air.
