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.
Winter Seed Sowing: Pros and Cons
27.06.2023 - 08:34 / growingwithplants.com
Somehow, miraculously (and thankfully) seed starting season is just about here once again. Perhaps in no other year (or years?) has thinking about starting a garden ever been more essential.
I’ve been gardening since I was a kid, yet if there is one thing that I keep trying to improve my skills with is with germinating seeds yet I am still learning. You’d think that now that I’m 60 that I would have mastered all of the tricks and tips of the trade, but the truth is that it’s never quite that simple. What I have learned is that research, patience and knowledge go a long way when it comes to success with seed starting.
I think many of us started our gardening lives by sowing a seed, and I do believe that it’s one of the best ways to inspire a new gardener about the wonders of gardening, especially with children. But if there was one thing that I could change about my gardening career, it would be to pay more attention to the details when it comes to seed sowing.
In my 20s I remember spending hours and hours reading and dog-earing the Thompson & Morgan seed catalog, which at the time was the catalog, at least here in America, where one could find endless varieties of annuals, perennials and even bonsai seeds (I know. Hey, I was young.). I tired and failed countless times, but I also succeeded (obviously by accident) with some. I remember how thrilled I was when a packet of Cyclamen seed produced one seedling.
Today, at least I know much better. And, things are so much easier with the great research tool that we all have – the internet. On the other hand, things can be so frustrating with the wrong information and as you probably know, the internet isn’t always right. Factor in social media, and things can get downright crazy.
