There are still a number of days before I can hope to see my beets, onions, and carrots germinating, which makes the baby radishes that are enthusiastically popping up even more impressive. Weirdly, the Botanical Interests radish seeds are germinating, but the radish seeds I got from SLOLA (and planted in a different bed) are not. I have no clue why. The good news is that the Botanical Interests radish seeds are certified non-GMO and untreated, so I may be able to save them and offer them to SLOLA.
I wish I could weigh in with some knowledge and experience with radishes beyond eating them. But I can’t, not honestly anyway. But they are delicious.
Awesome about giving back to SLOLA, btw. Have you done that before? I.e., given them a “new” seed for their collection?
Mama used to say that radishes had done more to encourage young gardeners than any other plant: up in less than a week, ready to eat in three. I guess that’s only if your seeds are good.
