RADISH

Raphinus spp.

Radish is a hardy vegetable, very easy to grow. The flowers are attractive to beneficial insects. Radish is sown in early autumn and spring, avoid hot weather. Sow direct where it is to grow 12 mm (½”) deep. Thin seedlings to 2.5 - 5 cm apart. Keep the row short and sow small crops every 2 to 3 weeks. Keep soil moist to avoid toughness, it prefers a rich, well-drained soil with a pH of 5.5 - 6.5, mulch between the rows. Radish is usually eaten raw, harvest while young and tender. Radish can be inter-planted with other crops such as carrots or beetroot for a fast harvest.

RHUBARB

Rheum rhabarbarum

Originally grown as a medicinal plant, rhubarb is now used mainly for desserts. Prepare a bed in a sunny well-drained position by digging well-rotted compost or animal manure through the bed as rhubarb is a ‘hungry’ feeder. Sow seed in spring, 2.5 cm deep directly where it is to grow, or sow in trays, covering lightly with seed raising mix. Space plants at 90 x 90 cm. Water well in dry weather. Apply a mulch of well-rotted manure in autumn and spring. Plants should be divided after 4-5 years. More information .....

Rhubarb is a cool climate perennial and the best colour stalks occur with a temperature of about 10°C. It will grow as far north as the subtropics but the colour will not be as good. It is best to give it partial shade in subtropical areas. It is not suitable for tropical areas as it requires a cold period to be productive.

Caution: Only the rhubarb stalks should be eaten and are better be cooked. Rhubarb leaves are poisonous and should never be eaten or fed to livestock or poultry.

Rhubarb ‘Victoria’

‘Victoria’ is noticeably sweeter and milder then other rhubarb. It produces prolific yields of thick, tender stalks with a rosy-red sheen that gradually turn to pink and then to green toward the leaf tip.
