[Ag-eq] Munching from the garden

[Susan Roe]

Hi Tracy,

You should still be able to get radishes through the summer and into the 
fall.  They just require a bit more water in the heat and you may have to 
either mulch or brake up the harder soil around them in your hotter months. 
If you don't want to continue them in your garden, consider planting some in 
planters or even in a split open bag of potting or top soil.  Radishes are 
one of the wonder vegetables that as long as they have enough soil, water 
and sun, they will grow just about anywhere.
