Howdy folks! I’m curious, what have you noticed about radishes?
What conditions do your radishes like best? Especially if you broadcast seeds all over the place, I’m curious what you’ve noticed about their growth habits / habitat preference in your scenario!
I live tucked into a mountain hollow in the blue ridge of Virginia. In August I walked around the land and threw out daikon seeds here and there wherever I thought they might be happy. It is now mid-november and two of those seeds have turned into monster daikon radishes, each well over a foot long and 5 inches thick!
Both of these giant radishes grew up in and among a community of mature weeds, each in a different depression in the landscape. Both have grown in areas that receive direct sun most of the day, and both survived the foraging hunger of ducks, guinea fowl, and chickens!
Have you had any stand-out radishes or radish communities? I’d love to hear their stories!
