When do you know when to pull a radish out of the ground?

Answer 1

Radishes are harvested much like any other root vegetable (such as carrots), by gently pulling up on the green leaves on top of the plant, and pulling the root (the radish) from the ground. Be sure to grasp the entire cluster of leaves to prevent them from breaking off, and leaving the radish in the ground. This is easier to do if the soil is slightly damp, maybe a day or so after a rain or being watered.

Answer 2

Pull radishes when they are of usable size (usually staring when roots are less than 1 inch in diameter) and relatively young. Radishes remain in edible condition for only a short time before they become pithy (spongy) and hot. Proper thinning focuses the harvest and avoids disappointing stragglers that have taken too long to develop.

Answer 3

Twenty to 30 days after spring plantings and 50 to 60 days after winter plantings describe the way to know when to pull radishes out of the ground. The soil needs to be probed carefully to verify root length, strength and thickness. Radishes require removal when roots measure 1 inch (2.5 centimeters) in length.

Answer 4

When the leaves are big and green. Pull one up first, and if it is a decent size, then you can pull the rest.

Answer 5

This depends on the type of radish. On the seed packet it will tell you how big the radishes should be and when they look about that big, harvest them
