50 Heirloom Red Champion Radish Seeds!

Growing radishes are easy to grow key factor is to grow them fast and harvest them fast. Radishes are sensitive to any changes in their growth. They want cool, moist soil with organic matter, with a pH of about 6.5 and an available supply of nutrients. Radishes are at their best for a short time; as if they are left in the ground longer than they should be, they will be bitter and a pithy texture.

*Heirloom seeds can be replanted season after season. Be sure to let at least one radish to go to seed. After radish blooms a flower, plant will go to seed. Collect after seed dries on plant.

Perfect root vegetable for southern Caliornia gardeners during Autumn and Winter! Grow throughout the seasons!

I've never had any luck with heirloom corn. I usually buy hybred. I'll plant heirloom Indian corn for ornamental.

my space is so small that I have to square inch garden so I haven't tried corn yet. I live in south central Idaho, so we don't have to plant spuds, corn or beans here. We just go pick them up out of the fields when the farmers are done harvesting.

The best thing to do if you have a small scale to work with is to first study your space and determine how much of it you really need to utilize for daily use. Hanging gardens are wonderful as well as placing container gardens on shelves.

There is plenty of inspiration when studying how city folk live. People in metropolitans who enjoy gardens really get creative about gardening... and we all know that gardening, fishing, hunting, ecology etc is the best thing anyone can ever teach their children.

I travel much and I'm always surprised to see how many kids have never even picked a vegetable from a garden or have seen a farm first hand. Folks are losing touch with the basic fundamentals in life (farming, sowing, cooking, hunting, literature, art, math etc. etc.) It's always good for folks to slow down a bit and just breath. Who cares if all this new technology and fashion passes you by? You can always catch up.

I work in a very busy, affluent, elite industry where nothing matters much to folks but technology, social networking and money. They eat the finest foods but, usually don't care about where the food comes from.

On the flip side.. I enjoy running into 'Foodies." Foodies are a unique group of folks from all crossroads high and low. Their main purpose is to find out where derives from, how it's processed and cooked before the final product is placed upon their dinner plate. The story is usually the same.. the food comes from farmers and / or backyard gardeners.

Regarding limited gardening space.. I enjoy visiting rooftop gardens where ever I travel. Chicago US has fabulous rooftop gardens.
