Richard in Virginia
We're close in climate zones (Richard in Ohio, what's your climate zone and latitude?).
We sow radishes in our hoophouse 9/6 (harvest 10/22-11/5), 10/22 (harvest 11/29-1/29), 11/27 (harvest 2/12-3/13), 12/27 (harvest 3/2-3/27), 1/27 (harvest till 4/8). We like Easter Egg and White Icicle. We're trying Zlata and Flamboyant this year. Sparkler gets woody if sown beyond the first of our sowings. Cherry Belle works OK - we like the range of colors in Easter Egg better, and the longer harvesting window.
We sow turnips 10/15 (harvest 11/29-2/29), 11/10 (harvest 2/25-3/10) and sometimes 12/10 (thin 1/11, harvest small 3/5-3/20 or they bolt).
We like Hakurei (short tops), Oasis, White Egg, Red Round (very tall). The greens are beautiful, tender and delicious too.
Sorry I've been out of the loop lately. We were pretty much at the epicenter of the East Coast Earthquake and its seemingly endless aftershocks. We've had a lot of cleanup and calming down to do! The garden and hoophouse are fine, apart from suffering from reduced attention. We have several buildings to repair, hundreds of broken canning jars to scoop up (tomato sauce, mostly), thousands of books to reshelve. Life is returning to normal, oh yeh, we've had a lot of rain too.
Pam Dawling, Twin Oaks Community, Louisa, Virginia. Zone 7 ish. 38.1° N 78.0° W Check out usgs.gov for earthquakes.
