Radishes are a quick and satisfying vegetable to grow in the spring garden. In Zone 8a, you can sow radish seeds directly into the soil from February through April. We recommend this crop for little ones or a school garden because radishes reach full growth 30 days after planting. They thrive in loose, well-drained soil. Try planting a new batch every couple of weeks for a steady harvest. Radishes come in a variety of colors, shapes, and sizes. This vegetable is rich in vitamin C, potassium, and antioxidants. Their light peppery flavor is the perfect salad topper or fresh snack with hummus on the side!
