When should radishes be harvested?
Radishes can be harvested 3 to 5 weeks after planting. Periodically check their development by pulling one or two plants as they approach maturity. Harvest radishes when roots reach useable size (about 1 inch in diameter). Radishes can be stored in the refrigerator for 2 to 3 weeks. Prior to storage, cut off the foliage to within ½ inch of the roots. Radishes get pithy and hot when harvested too late.
