I never would've thought to test to make sure seeds would germinate before storing them away until next year. Such a good idea!

@AuxhartGardening 4 жыл бұрын

Thanks! I was mildly worried I was picking them too early, so that seemed like a good way to test that they were actually ready.

Love saving radish seeds. You can get a lifetime supply in one year if you can stop the birds from eating them.

Birds haven't bothered them yet as far as I've seen. Although pulling all the seeds out is tedious, I can handle it if I know I'll rarely have to do it haha!

Oh my gosh I have found a fellow gardener that loves to grow her own seeds like I do I think growing my own radish seeds now for a couple years .Thank you so much I really do enjoy your channel and I know we’re going to be great buddies Isn’t it amazing that beautiful little flowers that are on the radish planned. Go look at my channel and look at all my beautiful seats coming from one carrots I have been doing updates every week . I’m trying to grow a food forest and every year I have plans coming back from year before ,I’ve have my lettuce coming back for a couple years now from past lettuce, I have Swiss chard and coming back for five years now . And of course my radishes have been coming back for several years to .I’m not very good at it yet but I’m sure I’m going to get a lot better as time goes on and I build my soil a better and richer .

Nice to meet you! It looks like you have quite a lot going on in the garden. I'd love to start a food forest too, but since I'm not sure if I'm moving next year I haven't planted anything long term like that. I love your attitude too! We are always getting better over time as we keep trying. :)

If the pods were fully developed, you could still dry them for seed. They are also edible no matter what variety you have. I have a whole video on ways to eat them if you're interested.

New viewer and now subscribed based on this video. I haven't saved radish seeds before. I too have a radish jungle at the moment, but pods are all still green, still on the planted radish plant. Should I cut some branches off the plant and would they mature ok off the plant?

@AuxhartGardening 3 жыл бұрын

If the seeds aren't fully formed, they won't mature off the plant. I only cut branches off when I'm certain the seeds are fully formed and just need to dry out. If you're feeling unsure, you can definitely just leave the pods to dry on the plant itself to be absolutely sure you're getting mature seeds.

Great video. I’m growing hydroponically indoors, and now I’m wondering about pollination. Will seeds form properly if I shake the flowers around the same way I would on a tomato plant? Also, I’m wondering how long it takes for the entire cycle of planting the seed, growing the radish, and waiting for the seed pods to be ready for harvest.

I don't think radishes work that way. They definitely need other plants to pollinate, but I'm not sure what the hand-pollination strategy would be for something like that. Sorry i can't be more helpful!

How long does it take for the radish to mature to this stage? I'm growing dinosaur kale and found out it could be roughly 2 years for it to flower. Will it take this long for radishes too? I have some very plumb radishes growing with big lushes greens, but the definitely don't look like that.
