The radish are mature enough to harvest. The tops of the radish are edible. I utilize all the radish plant in one of three ways. The bulb by itself, the bulb and tops chopped raw in salads, or sauté the chopped plants. I use the tops, since I grew them in my garden and used no sprays. I have an OXO food chopper which is ideal for this process. Pictures depict the processing.

This is day 10 from planting. The plants appear to be thriving. There is no sign of the usually ubiquitous flea beetle.

Radishes germinated, covering board removed, time 7 days and temperature was from about 10C to 15C. Peas are under the other board and they have not germinated.

A area of soil alongside the deck was planted with radishes. The seeds were dispensed using a shaker obtained at the Dollar Store on top of the prepared soil and tampered into the soil, watered and covered with a board until germination. This trellis part has peas planted.
