It’s cold: Time to plant your radishes

It’s cold: Time to plant your radishes

December is a quiet time in our Central Texas backyard gardens. Most plants and trees are slowly going dormant for the winter. Due to the reduction in daylight, fall and winter planted crops grow more slowly, but it’s still a great time of year for leafy greens like spinach, lettuce, kale, collards and mustard greens. If you are looking for a little more variety out in your vegetable beds, it’s a super time of the year for planting radishes. 12/17/2022 07:31 AM
