On May 23rd we finally had our first, although small, harvest of French Breakfast radishes. We have been growing them in two small pots that are roughly 6 inches deep. We also have some planted in an empty patch in our herb garden, but those seem to be a little bit behind.
These were all planted in mid-April.
They have been surprisingly easy to grow, and with all of the rain we have been getting in Southern Ontario, we haven't had to water them much. The most we have to do is check them everyday to see the progress they have made.
The radishes were probably a bit small when we picked them, at approximately 1-2 inches in length, but they were already poking far out of the soil. We will leave the other radishes a bit longer to see how big they will get.
The radishes were a really pretty pink colour with white tips. We ate them fresh and they were quite tasty and mild. We're looking forward to the next harvest of radishes.
