Thank you for this awesome collaboration Jess! It was a lot of fun! I really love the things you covered! I'm hungry for carrots now! xoxoxo
I've put radish leaves in a green salad of lettuce and found them really delicious.
Love your videos. I am a beginner to growing vegetables and fruit. I live in Ireland so colder but great advice and i can apply it to our weather
Show us more root crops and less talk.
You're my favorite youtube gardener! I had to laugh while you sere going on about radishes, reminded me of Bubba going on about shrimp in Forrest Gump 😉
I'm not a big fan of breakfast type radishes, but daikon…be still my beating heart! I love pickled daikon. I've actually never had them any other way. But it's about to be on this fall/winter!
That sweet little hummingbird on your flowers at 12:25ish. Are those marigolds?
Love beets. Roasted, and then blended into a smoothie with raspberries and apples. Or roasted with sweet potatoes, rutabagas,and jicama…pickled in a sweet and spicy brine.
THANK YOU!!!!!
So I had a bunch of arrowhead radishes growing in a PVC cement tray on my deck. They looked like they were growing really good and when I thought they would be ready to harvest I pulled them. I was disappointed as the roots were so skinny! Big fail! WTF? Did I do wrong?
Whatever camera you're using on this video is super awesome. It's crystal clear. Great video.
Are you still thinning or have you tried the multi sow method @MIgardener is doing? I was blown away by his beet harvest. ALSO Asparagus I was searching your channel for a video on this topic and also going the permaculture route of letting Parsnips just go the first year and getting a crop that will naturally replant itself. Do you have much permaculture in your garden? Also, my husband and I have been doing the Youtube life for a while now (@HomePerformance totally different topic!) and I just love watching others bloom too. Well Done y'all!
Carrots & Beets are delicious (& strong) juiced together!! Put them with goat's milk & it's creamy!!
I agree with the roasted radishes!! I used them in my Beef Bourguigon because my carrots weren’t ready yet and I was blown away at the flavor. Nice tips!!
I tried growing radishes like 6 weeks ago in grow bags and the radishes are so small. I literally don't know what I did wrong… but they haven't grown that much at all… I did several different soils and none did well… my tomatoes on the other hand are still going strong in spite of the cooler weather. Maybe I'm not capable of growing simple things…
Have you ever tried Watermelon radishes? I never even saw one until last year and what a wonderful surprise it was! An absolutely beautiful vegetable.
The way you’re talking about radishes… I need to go and get some radishes
awesome. thank you
I’ve started rutabaga and turnips indoors like Jess has said she’s done, for the fall. But can you do the same in the late winter and plant out in early spring or will I lose them to cold soil. I might just try an experiment bc I have two varieties that are “turnip/rutabaga crosses” gilfeather is the variety. Then I have laurentian which are the large ones for the fall.
If Jess has any insight on this or anyone else in the comments I’d love to hear. I’m zone 6a/b in NYS
You really have motivated me to Grow Radishes…. wow….. Awesome Information <3 Thank You
Great video. I can’t wait to try this out. Thank you for all your great content

So educational!
