You can eat the seed pods on any radishes, rats tail radish is just a more specialized variety, so if your radishes go to bolt and you think they'll taste less than ideal, let them bolt! Pods taste like a mix between radishes and green beans (to me)

Get your cold weather stuff started indoors now. Plant out a few weeks before the last frost date. Germinating Kale, cabbage, onion, spinach, lettuce, coriander, parsley, dill and various asian greens myself right now. I’ll set them out in the cold frame in march and in the ground a week or so after soil is workable. I’m 8B we get out last frost date around April 1-15.

@Hayley-sl9lm 3 жыл бұрын

Re: rattail radish-- If people wanted try it without buying a special variety, any radish will give you pods if you let it flower and pollinators really like the flowers (they're lovely flowers I think). Then you can try them out and see if you like pods enough to get a special variety just for big pods. I found them to be a little much (like super spicy) and little bit of them went a long way so I don't think I will try that variety again. I think I'll just let the occasional radish bolt and then have a little bit for a garnish in the summertime. Red rambo radish makes a purple-colored pod that looks pretty cool!

Some recommendations from an old gardener: 1) Grow water-thirsty plants in the ground or large beds with heavier soil or some peat moss mixed in (Lemon Grass, celery, mint, lettuces...). In those small grow bags you will have a hard time keeping them wet enough to thrive and you will be wasting a LOT of our precious water (you are in a semi-desert zone and should try to conserve water as much as possible). 2) Plants that need to be dug up seasonally, such as potatoes, are much easier to grow in large containers than in the ground. When you have to dig them out of the ground you end up damaging many of them, which makes them spoil more easily and not store well. I grow mine in large tubs or half whiskey barrels. Then when it's time to harvest you just turn it over and the potatoes just spill out, making it really easy and much less labor intensive. And FYI, in So Cal you should start your potatoes in the fall, rather than spring, so they have longer to grow and mature before it gets hot. Same goes for onions and garlic. Wishing you the best!

So exciting and beautiful. Love to try new plants every year! Last year all the way up in Montana on top of the Canada border i decided I had to try artichokes. I was astounded by there beauty and health. Even more so by the taste of an artichoke right off its bush. We had a very hard very early freeze on labor day. Only our cruciferous and artichokes survived and flourished. I grow garlic, hard and soft every year. I plant early with my cold weather plants and its the last that I harvest in late fall. I never winter it. My heads are usually 3 inches across with 5 to 7 cloves and taste great even tho they are small. I tried the fall planting a few times here but it just never worked so I just found a way around it. A beautiful video. Thank you.
