Thanks Ed and Johannian for your suggestions. I can only try. And cross my fingers!
Dillard, that was a really good read. I can see that you definitely like radishes. What's your favorite way to eat them?

I've never planted enough to hit even the 50-count mark. How many do you do, Dillard & Ed? Because really only my mother and I like radishes in the family, I usually stay under 50.

Shoot, I ain't planted them but a few times. I would say the last time was probably 50 or so. It would be better to plant maybe 10-15 every week or so, in regards to our usage. We don't eat a lot but they do grow pretty good for us and it's easy for me to overplant.

In a family of eight, it's nigh impossible to over-plant crops.

Salad radishes. I plant a 10 ft row at 10 day intervals. (March and April) again in September. I usually use four different varieties each year. I only eat a fraction of them, but they are relatively easy to give to friend and neighbors
Winter radishes usually about 25 ft of row in September. More difficult to give away, but they keep well through the winter.

FYI everyone, I changed the thread's name from "Radish Thread 2022" to the current one, because I figured the whole thread could be about radishes, carrots, and turnips, since they're so similar.

I don't even know what rutabaga is either, as well as salsify, lol.

I have some beets and parsnips out there, the question is when to harvest them. My French breakfast radishes are the size of a small pea. Maybe one more week I should be able to pull them up.

Maybe the thread should just be called "Roots" !
Rutabagas just do not get the respect they deserve - they're a staple here in the Michigan UP, can't make a decent pasty without them! (before someone says they've never heard of a pasty - it's a crust wrapped around a filling of beef, onions, carrots, potato and rutabaga; you can read more here https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/...
(and for the record it's past-tee -- not paste - ee)

I had them before, maybe I made them before too, but it's been a long time. They sell them at a stop by the motorway in England, they are called Cornish pasty, pretty cheap food, and tasty too. In fact I might make one tomorrow, but I only have a turnip somewhere,not rutabaga, I just bought some ground beef and onions on sale yesterday. https://www.daringgourmet.com/...
