Update on radishes:
Well, I failed at this project. These have been "growing" for nearly 3 months. Tops are anywhere from 6-9 inches tall. But many of them are now starting to flower. Reading on line it said that when they do that they got too cold. Well, the GH was never below 50, and then only for a short bit -- sometimes it ran 55 at night. When I scrape the soil away from them, there is no radish visible -- just a red root. On line says they need lots of sun but cool weather -- I added the grow lights about a month ago, but maybe that was too late.
So -- I'll try again. I did read that the greens are actually more nutritious than the radish itself and are wonderful in stirfry (which is something I DO WELL). So, maybe not a complete failure -- we'll have stir-fried radish leaves- hahah hehehe Expensive ones, given the heating and all this winter.
I plucked this one out of the pot -- washed it off ... and ATE the leaves. They are great ! Tasted like radishes -- I can see using a little of them in a fresh salad too.
