I noticed your huge pile of the radish pods there towards the end of the radish segment. Is it possible to pick the pods when theyre about as mature as the ones you show and let them mature on the vine inside? or is it generally better to let them ripen outside?

[Praxxus55712]

@MrMyrdok You can pick them and bring them indoors to mature. I would pick the whole stalk and leave the pods on the stalk until they're dry. You shouldn't have any problems with that method.

Can I take the spinanch bolt form the plant when green or do I wait until it turns brown?

[Praxxus55712]

@ohyeshedid1983 Wait until it dies and starts turning brown. The seeds need to ripen on the plant as much as possible. Be careful when harvesting the dry stems so the seeds don't fall off.

how long does it take for seed pods to form on radishes ? ..

[Praxxus55712]

@ally4free1 The pods will form right after the flowers die. The pods take various times to fully develope. Wait until the pods are light yellow and dry before harvest.

@Eric18600 He's the official radish spokesman. Apparently he has the compassion of a radish. Who knew? :)

Hi,

Thank you for sharing, I enjoyed watching.

(By the way: the Corriander/Cilantro Tip: very few know that....)

Couple of questions if I may: I thought "pods" should dry on the plant to ensure better efficiency of the seeds - to mature so to speak. I was told that in reference to Cucumbers, is it? and what about green peas & green (bell) pepper in specific?

Second, can you keep a dry Mango seed for next season?

Thanks in advance for replying.
