I find that at the slightest hint of dryness, radishes will bolt. It is also important to space them out well - maybe 2 or 3 inches between plants. Since radish seeds are quite big, it is usually easy enough to sow them thinly, but extra thinning may be required soon after germination. Hope this helps, but if you want to see more, use the "Search this blog" facility in the sidebar and you will find lots of posts a bout radishes.Mark Willishttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04558305122821209520noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3840827850297141825.post-37186919087234290102015-05-29T09:34:01.731+01:002015-05-29T09:34:01.731+01:00Your radishes looks great.

I've had problems with them not swelling before when sown in compost so am using soil based compost mixed with topsoil to see if it makes a difference. Can't imagine the French having radishes for breakfast :)Sue Garretthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08164518448098182276noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3840827850297141825.post-72200457129200237962015-05-25T16:21:12.223+01:002015-05-25T16:21:12.223+01:00That looks very tempting.

Persian and Middle Eastern food in general seem like a good fit for me as they don't use too many of my forbidden foods. Yes they have beans, eggplants, and peppers, but a lot of the flavors work for me. I'm obviously going to have to put Persiana on my list of books to check out from the library.
