RE: When should you pick radishes and turnips?
i typically harvest radishes 3-5 weeks after direct sowing, depending on the weather. there are the red ones like you have, that have more of a peppery bite. i've tried some white ones that were more onion-flavored, and ready to pull about the same time.
turnips can be finicky! i've pulled some at 4 weeks that were too small, and i've pulled a 2-pounder at 6 weeks that was bitter and tough.
have fun in the dirt!!
Thank you for the tip. I was wondering if I could still plant some radishes now or would it be too cold?
your soil needs to be at least above 45-55F with no threat of frost, from what i can remember.
I think the temperature was in the 30s last night. It pretty much never snows here. I do find ice on might windshield occasionally.
i'd say it's still a bit too cold. you could always try something indoors - like sprouting! sprouted radish seeds are delicious.
That is a great idea! I have so many extra seeds and I won't be able to plant them all. I should eat them as sprouts.
