\"\"If you are looking for a little culinary heat, grow radishes in a deep window box on a sunny windowsill or any sheltered, sunny place.\u00a0Radishes<\/strong>\u00a0need warm soil for germination so positioning is important. A good option is a Gusta Garden planter with cultivation hood so that growth can be started in a sunny room\u00a0 indoors. The hood provides a warm, moist microclimate and when temperatures rise the planter can be taken outdoors.<\/p>\n

Radishes grow so fast that it\u2019s a great way to get kids excited about gardening and growing their own food. Seeds germinate in three to eight days and are ready for picking from three weeks. The nicest radishes are pulled before they are fully grown. Regular watering will produce crisp, tasty radishes but water in the morning so that the leaves are dry by the evening.<\/p>\n
