Nothing beats the flavor of fresh, home grown vegetables! Plants are compact and ornamental producing tasty fruit. Fruit can be eaten fresh off the vine or in salads. Place containers in full sun after threat of frost has passed. Insert short trellis into the pot for support. Keep constantly moist. Feed every week with a well-balanced plant food. Harvest fruit as it matures.
Unique and exclusive to Beier's Greenhouse, Garden Leaders are your key to Edible Landscape success.

The Edible Landscape
Quick Radish Tips
- Normal planting time starts now and continues all summer.
- Minimum ground temp must be 40 degrees or higher.
- If you grow white icicle radishes, try the tops in salad.
- Early varieties typically mature in three to four weeks, and may be planted at any time.
- Mid-season varieties take 40-60 days to mature.
- Winter radishes mature in 60-70 days, so keep that in mind when planting.
- If you like rows, sow thinly and cover with 1/4 inch of soil. Multiple rows should be 6 inches apart. Thin to 2 inches apart as they grow.
- Radishes thrive in pots and containers and scattered in handy places in the garden.
- Hot weather makes radishes bolt and can turn them bitter.
- Shade your radishes by growing under tomato, pepper or corn plants.
- Water frequently. Radishes don't like to dry out.
- Wood ashes make a very good soil amendment for radishes, as they add potassium and ward off root maggots.

Batter-Fried Dandelion Blossoms
Makes 8 servings
|
|
For full, showy blossoms, pick just before using, as blossoms close shortly after picking. The dandelion blossom responds quickly to temperture changes. It opens only in clear weather and closes as soon as temperatures approach 90° F.
1 tablespoon of water
2 eggs
1/4 cup of nut oil
2 quarts freshly picked dandelion blossoms, washed and dried
1 1/2 cups of fine cornmeal
Add the water to the eggs and beat well. Heat the nut oil to sizzle in a cast-iron skillet. Dip the dandelion blossoms, one at a time, into the egg, and then into cornmeal. Sauté, turning often, until golden. Drain on brown paper.
Serve either hot or cold, as snacks, a vegetable side dish, or use as a tasty garnish.
