We are planting these very long radishes. Since they grow so long, about 16" would they bring up minerals from deeper in the soil than most average vegetables? Would this benefit the garden or even the compost pile? When should they be planted here in northeast PA? Thanks, Jerry

LI, last year I attempted to grow carrots in container and they only grew to about 3 inches and the rest of the roots on them were rootbound so they did not fare well. We will probably plant them in the ground. When did you plant them when you grew them in pots? Also I read somewhere (I do not know if this is true or not) to plant them between veggies such as carrots them the critters outdoors will not eat the carrots.

I grow a bunch of radishes each year and I start planting the seeds as soon as the soil is workable. Then every week I plant more seeds to keep the harvest going. Towards the end of may/ begining of june I stop sowing seeds. I harvest two radishes in a row and then skip one, I let the skipped ones go to seed to plant the following year. I already have some seeds in the dirt here so I'd say that anytime now is OK to put them out.
