HOW TO GROW AND HARVEST DIAKON AND WHITE ICILE RADISH

so today we're gonna see how to harvest radish there are two varieties of radish that we've been growing one is the white icicle and the other variety being the daikon radish the the Chinese or the Japanese radish so this one that I just pulled out is a daikon they grow pretty well in this kind of weather but I think the icicle is slightly better as you can see here this is another daikon they grow pretty big now this one's a smaller one though I think we could have left it to grow a little longer but then it increases is the the pungency of the radish so that's how you know when to harvest radish harvested soon for less pungency so here are some radish growing in containers this one is also the daikon variety and radish grows pretty well in containers as well you just need some nice soil and less nitrogen more phosphorus and potassium you could use an all-purpose organic fertilizer for this you can see some of these roots forking out that's a sign that the radish is a little late for harvest so you might want to harvest your radish a little sooner let's try to pull one more radish out there we go and that's about a perfect radish now here's the other variety that I was talking about the Icicle the white icicle radish pretty popular here in the United States you can easily get the seeds in any of your local garden stores and they're very easy to grow they are ready for harvest pretty quick this is a nice size one look at the volume of the tradition looks pretty good they're ready to harvest in about a month maybe a month and a half so you're going to get a really good crop if you if you grow white icicle and again these grew lovely in containers let's pull another one this is actually a daikon it's not the white icicle so once your radishes are arrested you're going to nicely wash this watch the roots as well as the leaves and the radish leaves as well as the roots are are both both edible the greens make the greens are very delicious they're they're pungent but delicious and then of course the radish can be the flesh of the radish can also be used so happy gardening
