Radish

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.

  6. Melody - Sprouts take only 1 week to grow and harvest. For radish root to form, it takes a couple of months.

  7. Candy - 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.

  8. Hi. 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.

    Sorry 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.

  9. 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.
