Waste Radishes and Early Onions From Sets
Go to Waste Radishes share with young onions stown from sets the welcome which is always given the first harvest from the garden. In three weeks from the time of sowing, Scarlet Globe radishes should be ready for the table. But in another week they are unfit to eat, a fact which many beginners ignore. If more than a week's supply of such an early variety is sown at one time, much of the harvest will go to waste.
