Instructions:
Radishes are ready for harvest very quickly. They prefer cooler weather so it's best to sow them in early spring or in the fall. Keep well-fertilized, but keep nitrogen content relatively low at the start as it will take away from the root itself. Harvest when you see a red 1-2" bulb poking out of the soil, and use in salads or in cooking.
