I buy Rats Tail radish seeds for the pods from Baker Creek seeds....
where can i buy these seeds in stores like home depot, lows or menards if i not order on line help me
I bought mine on ebay. Grew them for the first time this year and I have a bumper crop! Let some pods go to seed and you can enjoy them year after year.
What zone do they grow in? I'm in FL, zone 9 and was wondering if I could grow them here? Thank you!
Yes, they will grow in Florida and other Gulf Coast areas with torrid summers. Treat them as a winter crop, seeding them in mid-October. By Thanksgiving, you should have your first pods. Chill the seeds in the refrigerator for at least two weeks before planting to trick them into sprouting in ground that is a bit warmer than spring soil.
so, mam, does this mean any normal radishes can work. i can just let me radishes keep growing and get these radish green bean pods? like idea of getting more out of my harvest.
Unfortunately, Andy, any radish variety will not work. They all will form pods eventually (that's how they produce seed), but the pods will be tough and tasteless!
