Op of the Cr

One of the easiest salad crops to grow, radishes mature in just a few weeks and come in a huge range of shades, shapes and sizes to jazz up any salad. You can also harvest baby radishes as sprouts or microgreens. Their peppery flavour is more noticeable then. Let them flower, and you can eat the tangy blooms too. SOW AND GROW

When to sow: September to April in warm areas and September to January in cooler areas. Position: Full sun or partial shade in height of summer. Harvest: 6-8 weeks.
