Organic Indoor French Radish: End of Week 5

Organic Indoor French Radish

   Another week and more growth to show for these beautiful delicious little morsels. I cannot believe time has gone by this fast, I mean look! Each radish bulb seems to be wanting to come up from the soil. I went and looked over all of the weekly and bi-weekly photos I have taken of these Organic French Radishes over the past five weeks. Truly, I am amazed at what nature is. This proves that life is everywhere we look and we can help maintain these precious lives so that future generations know what they are and how they came to be. These radishes have grown and shown me that even with a little help, the outcome can be magnificent.

   You can see here that these little red devils are about ready for harvesting. I would say about four or five more days until I pluck these little mouth-watering organic french radishes. As soon as I pluck these I am going to sow more radish seeds and I am thinking about sowing two different radish cultivar seeds together in the same pot, which will give me a choice of which type of radish I would like to use that particular day after I harvest and store them properly.

Next post will hopefully be on a harvest video for these wonderful little guys. Thanks again for staying with my grow log and seeing how little effort it takes to grow your own organic healthy food. Subscribe/follow me for future updates and videos! Until next time fellow gardeners....

Indoor Organic Radishes: End of Week 4

Organic French Radishes
    Completely unbelievable that it is already been twenty-one days since germination for these organic french radishes I am currently growing in my indoor garden. I am using a five gallon pot, which gives me about six or so radishes that will be fully mature and delicious. I chose these radishes specifically for salads and for my favourite, makes me feel so good inside, dish ramen. I just cannot find myself eating a bowl of ramen without radishes in it somehow. If there aren't any radishes in it, then I do not consider it a proper ramen.

    Like I said these french radishes have been growing for twenty-one days and truly have shown their growth. I believe it will be the end of January when these guys will be fully mature and ready for me to make a little harvesting video with a recipe included!

   Radishes can be one of the easiest starter plants to grow if you are a first timer wanting to grow your own food. These guys take little maintenance and require not that much water. I water mine every two days since they are in a controlled environment. I use the same soil mix is use for my tomatoes on my radishes. Just be careful about over-watering and letting the bulb of the radish unearth early! You can just cover it with extra soil to avoid this worry.

Well thanks again for following my grow-log. It's been fun sharing my plants with you fine people. Follow/subscribe for future updates and follow/subscribe on my various social media. I always follow back! Until next time...

Organic Indoor Radishes: Half-way Grown!

Organically Grown French Radishes

    Nothing is more amazing than a specific crop that only takes a month from germination to harvest to grow. Radishes are diverse in every culture and quite an abundant crop seen in the majority of households in several different countries. When you initially say the word radish to someone the first word to pop into their head will most likely be "daikon" which is a famous Japanese radish breed.

    The type of radish I am currently growing is called a "French Radish". This radish is obviously commonly used in France and has quite a crisp taste when harvested on time. These radishes have been growing for about twenty or so days now, and should be fully ready in about a week or two weeks time. I grow my radishes so I can use them for salads or ramen. I just cannot eat ramen or udon for the matter without a radish in it, it just isn't right to me. Every ramen or udon I have had ever has always had a piece of radish in it or made with radishes in the stock.

    For my spring garden I am thinking about getting a new type of radish to try to grow out there and see if there is truly a different taste between each other. I was thinking about either trying a daikon radish or a purple radish which would pop out on any dish. All in all it is so cool just to grow this crop and be able to continually harvest throughout the year with the right planting times.

    Well that is it for today's update friends! These radishes are really bolting, soon I'll be posting about harvesting them and making a video out of it. Thank you yet again for reading and staying current with my grow-log and me! Until next time....

Radishes Organically Grown Indoors: Fast Healthy Organic Crop

Organic French Radish

    I started some French Radishes indoors a couple of days ago, and they already took off to a brilliant start. I decided on radishes for the fact of it only taking between twenty days to thirty-five days from seed to crop, and that it's loaded with nutrients. These sproutlings you see in the picture above are going to mature into a nice healthy-sized crop in no time at all. Right now they are in a coconut shell and manure mix with some vermiculite to act as an amazing growing medium.

   I'm so excited for these radishes! This is my fourth time planting this specific breed and it's one of my top favorites. I usually slice them to a half inch and pan fry it for a minute, then add them to my ramen mix. I've eaten them in a salad and roasted, which are both palate and visual eye-candy. I love just seeing the progress of my plants through my blog and I hope you enjoy this too.

Until next time, Keep it Green and Keep it Growing.

Ciao!
