Radish is just about the easiest vegetable to grow. The seeds germinate very quickly and sprouts can be harvested for salad in a week.
Otherwise, just leave them alone to mature. While waiting to harvest the root, you can enjoy the pretty white blooms too.
What is there not to like about radish? I make a quick pickle using garlic, chilli powder, vinegar, salt and sugar. So easy yet yummy.
You really have green thumb! That's lovely radish plant. The pickle looks yummy!

ReplyDeleteAny shops to recommend for veg seeds and soil? i found that there's limited variety of seed and soil on sale in Singapore...
ReplyDeleteMelody - Sprouts take only 1 week to grow and harvest. For radish root to form, it takes a couple of months.
ReplyDeleteCandy - Easigarden.com and pocketgreens.com.sg import their own seeds and germination is very high. The seeds can be bought in Botanic Garden shops and they have a wide variety.
ReplyDeleteHi. I have been reading your blog a few days now and I have never been more inspired to grow my own food. Actually, I started a few months now but the seedlings eventually died. I think the reason is the lack of sun. I would really appreciate if you would give me some suggestions on which plant I can grow. I do not wish to give up.
ReplyDeleteSorry for the long post. Happy gardening to all. :)
PS. I posted the same comment before this but I don't know if it was posted. Please disregard the other one. Sorry and thank you.
You need full sun, 6 hrs a day, if you want to grow vegetables. It's difficult if you don't have it. The next best alternative would be to grow microgreens which you can harvest when they are still babies.
