Radishes are Easy to Grow
and Add Color to Salad
R
adishes can add color to a boring salad and are also the fastest growing
vegetable in the garden. Radishes are the perfect vegetable for gardeners
looking for immediate results from their labors. In as little as three weeks
from when the seeds are planted radishes can be harvested. Radishes can
help add the splash of color that is often
missing in spring salads made from exclu-
sively local sources.
