Radish (Raphanus sativus)

Radish (Raphanus sativus) is by far one of the easiest and most rewarding vegetables to grow – it germinates quickly, is a fast grower, is not fussy and adds a little colour and flavour to a salad.

We had our first radish crop this week.  Here’s a picture of one:

Oh, and pests hardly attack them, so they make a wonderful crop for the vegetable garden.  Also, because of the fast germination rate (2-3 days), they are an ideal plant for involving children (of all ages!) when trying to encourage them to develop a green finger.

    Your radish looks amazing! This is something that I will definately try with my children.
