Vitamin-rich vegetables
We seldom think of a simple radish as a source of nutrition. A close look reveals that it is largely made up of water (more than 90 percent) yet contains as much potassium as bananas and about half the ascorbic acid of oranges.
Rich in vitamin C, folic acid and potassium, radishes are sliced thin to add a pungent crunch to summer salad, or grated fine and added to vinagrettes, or mixed with tea and honey as a curative for colds. Radishes are also carved into "roses" to make a decorative garnish.
With dozens of ways to cook radishes, why not grow them all year? Radishes are one of the easiest vegetables to grow. From the time you plant the seed, it only takes 23-28 days before you are ready to harvest your crop. Seeds are very inexpensive, and growing is simple.
There are countless ways to prepare radishes, and they are all very tasty. Considering the short growing period, you could literally grow radishes all year and have an abundance of excellent vitamin-rich vegetebles always available.
Don't have a place to plant the seeds? Think again...Radishes can be grown pretty much anywhere, as long as the temperatures are not freezing. In fact, radishes do not require full sun. A window, or patio planter will be sufficient for growing if you live in an apartment.
