    The key to crisp, mild Radishes is regular watering and weeding. Do you grow Radishes in the garden?

    Yes, I grow radishes.

    The year before last I planted some seeds in a modular tray, one seed per module. I did this to start the seeds off with the intention of transplanting them later. The tray was at the back of the top shelf in the greenhouse, so I forgot about them but continued watering. One day whilst moving trays around, I came across the radishes, which had actually fully grown in the modules and they were great.

    I hope to have some soon...I have a lot of leaves. Trying different ways of growing them. Then again, I probably will sow more seeds.

    Thanks Petronius.....
    @adam.ca I sowed these in early November...they were really slow because of the conditions. When I moved them to the house and could really get used to the cold, they took off. These were sown in the small water bottles. You should see the others still in there..the leaves are huge. Will take pics tomorrow.
