Your summer vegetable garden may be winding down, but that doesn’t mean you’ve missed your last opportunity to grow something fresh. While tomatoes and peppers need months of warm weather, certain radishes can go from seed to harvest in just three or four weeks. That makes them an excellent option for gardeners hoping to squeeze one more crop out of their beds before winter arrives.
The trick is choosing varieties that mature quickly rather than larger winter radishes that need considerably more growing time. According to the University of Maryland, many common garden radishes mature in approximately 25 to 35 days and tolerate cool temperatures and frost. These seven fast-growing radish varieties can help you make the most of a short fall planting window without spending much money on seeds or supplies.
