- No Need To Pull Them | Bolting Veggies | Edible Radish Seed Pods | Guten Yardening
In early April we planted four varieties of radishes here in zone 5 Wisconsin. These varieties, Purple Plum Radishes, Sichuan Red Beauty Radishes, Japanese Minowase Daikon Radishes, and Japanese Wasabi Radishes, have been growing for the past month plus, and we have been harvesting them and enjoying them for the past few weeks.
Two of the varieites, the Purple Plum Radishes, and the Sichuan Red Beauty Radishes grew well, but the other two varieties went to seed.
In this video, we harvest some amazing radishes, show you how we test for Nitrogen levels in the soil, and we discuss the likely causes of them going to seed, and some of the possibilities for what we can do with them even though they bolted. If you have ever wondered, can I eat radish leaves, or can I eat radish seed pods, then this video is for you. Edible radish seed pods are a great side benefit to radishes bolting, in addition to edible radish flowers.
So, even though we had some unexpected results from two of the varieties, we are still able to each most of what grew, and we have plans for a planting in the fall to see if these two varieties will perform better for us at that time.

It is well worth the investment.

6:15 Bugs was wanting you to hurry up so he could finish feasting LOL
Ha! I wondered if anyone would notice him in the background. I almost circled him in the video. We have more rabbits out there than I can count.
Some of my radishes bolted, As well. Nice to know that all is not lost. Another great video!
Try the flowers and let me know what you think of the taste. :)
Planted radishes too late and they bolted. I never knew they were cool-season veggies or that they are still edible. Totally changed my garden game! Thanks 👍
Yes they are!
i think the pods we are eating were planted last year, as if they are biennial or perennial.
I planted 4 varieties this year and two bolted. The daikon and the watermelon (which I think is a daikon variety) bolted. They are both new varieties for my garden, so thanks for the theory and I will plant them as a fall crop.
We would love to know how they turn out for you in the fall. We have some big hopes for our fall garden with these radishes. Thank you for watching!
I planted watermelon radishes in fall and was doing great.... then the few that I left as it started warming up bolted.
good job brother,,,nice to see your gardening techniques...
Thank you so much! We are glad you enjoyed the video. Have a great night!
I saw my first bees of the season finally hanging out with the radish flowers.
Thanks for the tips my friend...my radishes bolted too...everything that took more than 30 days...
The weather was really strange this year with massive temperature swings here, so I wouldn't be surprised if that contributed to the stress on the radishes. We came in at around 40 days before harvesting for ours.
I’m just going to harvest some radishes :) super excited! I wanna try some other varieties too. Tnx for the vid.
Excellent! What variety did you plant this year?
Mine bolted the weather was extremely unstable it was extremely hot than cold days, I was happy to find out all not lost we can eat the flowers thanks a million’s 🙏🏾
Thank you! Nicely detailed information!!! You have another subscriber with 'all' ringing bell.🙂🌈
Thank you so much! Those flaowers and seed pods are quite delicious!
I assumed you would talk about attracting pollinators! I have 1 bolted so far, but ill leave it to seed. If I get more ill taste it. Thanks for the info!
This yeah was my first year planting radishes and they were very small lol
Great info 👍. Will be saving my bolted ones for seeds and tasting those flowers.
Great stuff! Currently have about 2/3 of a 10 m bed full that'll probably be bolting in the very near future and not ready to flip yet. Edible flowers is a great win win
I planted Daikon, Watermellon & French Breakfast radishes and the Daikon bolted. Now I'm waiting for seeds to mature while I eat the other two varieties.
Yep, we had no problem with the daikon in the fall, but we will collect some seeds, I think. In the meantime, those flowers are delicious!
Thanks for the information because I was wondering why my white icicle radish bolting with no bulbs. Yes I planted mine at the beginning of spring and here in South Africa our spring is like summer. I am glad to know the reason so that I can next time estimate when to plant my radish. Thanks again.
You are so welcome, and we are glad that this video helped. If they do bolt, definitely give the flowers and pods a taste, as I think you will like them. We are rearranging our planting time next season because we want to experience these at full size. Have a wonderful day, and thank you for watching!
Do you blanch whole radishes?
Great question! We usually cut them in half or quarters for the really big ones.
The seed pods are edible raw?
Yes and they are very delicious!
So, in Florida, I'm out of luck? 🥺
Not exactly. Dan permaculture Food Forest has successfully grown daikon radishes during the fall months.
@@GutenGardeningThanks. That's what I needed to hear.
