Harvesting Radishes and Growing Bush Beans: Simple Tips

Bush beans don’t need stakes—they’re self-supporting. Radishes are ready when roots reach usable size (usually 3–4 weeks). Pull a few to check.

Radish Harvest Tips

• Harvest promptly; overmature radishes become woody and hot.
• Succession plant every 2 weeks for continuous crop.
• Use thinnings in salads.
