When to harvest radishes

There are many types of radishes from red, white and purple. Plus radishes come in lots of different shapes. It is good to know the type and variety of radish you are growing. This will give you an insight into when your radishes will be ready and how long it takes to grow until the radish are ready to harvest.

The radishes that you would normally see in shops usually take around only 4 weeks from planting the seed outside to it being ready to harvest. The best way to check is just pull one of the radishes out of the ground and you will see the size of it. All the other radishes will be the same size if they were all planted at the same time. Don’t plant loads of seeds at once as you will be harvesting loads of Radish. Once they are ready they need to come out or the radish will go to seed. This is when you see flowers growing on top of it – this can mean the radish is past it.

So the best thing to remember is that yo check if they are ready just pull one out and check the size. Sometimes you can tell the size of the radish on top of the soil.

How to prepare Radish

Once you have harvested you radish you will want to prepare them this is actually quite easy. First, cut the leaves off the top of the radish then trim the roots off the bottom. Wash all the dirt off them thoroughly and dry them well or they may go mouldy and rot. They can be then stored in the fridge in a plastic bag until they are ready to be used. You can also eat the radish leaves that you cut off. So wash them and also store them in a bag in the fridge. These can be stored up to 3 days at the most.

Customer Reviews

Here you can read the customers reviews and what they thought of the product:-

We have a very odd shaped house that requires us to have multiple outside taps (we have 4!), and as such we usually have dragged the old hosepipe round to wherever we need it and use it that way – en route dealing with kinked pipes, pipes that have got squished and need making round again and so on! The 4 taps are for specific purposes one for hosing down the dog run area, one near the hottub for hosing down or filling up and the others are in the front and back garden. After the winter the old hosepipe has not faired well and leaks from where it reels out and the end flew off and the bit that attaches to the tap sprays out water so decided enough was enough.

The great points:
These hoses are very compact and are dramatically easier to handle than a regular hose.
They affix to the tap easily with a click,
They don’t leak from the connections,
They store very easily,
They perform well
They give better pressure than a standard hose
They are very easy to store
They are very reasonably priced
They are very good value for money

The bad points:- isn’t really a bad point!
They don’t look so good when stored over the tap/on hook – but then again nor do regular hoses; however they come in a draw-string bag, so as it’s very compact I hang it over the tap to dry off after use, put in storage bag and place in the utility room. This also ensures that the hosepipe doesn’t get damaged with sun/bad weather etc and keeps the place tidy. They don’t take up much room at all and all very clean.

I have bought one for my elderly mother who has a long garden and she finds it easy to use and handle than a normal hose which can be heavy and dangerous.

Customer Reviews

Here you can read what one of the customers thought of the product.

  • I am so glad I purchased this. It was reliable and although I read a review about the handle being a bit flimsy under pressure I was exerting quite a bit of force but also twisting side to side and there was no hint of a problem. The ‘teeth’ at the bottom cut through the ground very easily, there was only a problem if I encountered a stone but that would be the same with a trowel.
  • After a few holes, the soil started to stick to the inside and was a bit difficult to release without a slight bang against a rock but I put that down to my soil being quite a clay ridden and damp and so made it slightly more difficult, but it would have been a long job without this device. All in all, I planted 200 bulbs in 2 hours
