Maybe I can try a fall crop this year, too. I am usually too "gardened out" by the time fall comes around to plant anything but bulbs, which sometimes don't get planted until December.<br />-RaySwimrayhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02928919593044289369noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9127455457043616458.post-58681676944248090402011-07-05T10:04:19.291-04:002011-07-05T10:04:19.291-04:00Onions and radishes are tricky, I think, because t...Onions and radishes are tricky, I think, because they're so finely tuned to seasons. For what it's worth, Johnny's Selected Seeds lists for each onion variety a range of latitudes at which it can be successfully grown. We're kind of stuck in the middle here in Virginia, not far north enough for the very long-day types and not far south enough for the very short-day types.<br /><br />Radishes, I'm told, used to be grouped into spring, summer and fall varieties, but very few seed purveyors provide that information any more. I think the days-to-maturity is mostly bunk - it depends so much on the weather and season. My earliest planting this year took almost 2 months from seed-sowing to nice round red radishes. And this year I hope to actually plant some fall radishes instead of just thinking about it. :-)tangledbrancheshttp://tangledbranches.com/blog/noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9127455457043616458.post-1885294787829582272011-06-28T20:47:26.465-04:002011-06-28T20:47:26.465-04:00i bet they taste just as good as the big ones.
