This quick-growing root crop is a requisite plant for the gardens of salad lovers. Radishes come in deep ruby red to soft pink to solid white colors, and in shapes from round globes to long, skinny carrot-like roots.
Radish varieties vary from mild to wildly hot and spicy, and all contain an abundance of nutrition. Some varieties thrive in cooler climates, some in warmer temps, and all need a well-drained but not parched soil—so choose the one or ones that are well-suited to your garden’s growing conditions.
