This is the Red Planet Radish from Renee's Garden - I started three seeds in a generic AeroGarden-fitting sponge, the one discussed in this thread, and thinned it out to one seedling tonight. I placed the sponge in an AeroGarden pod, and then placed it in a 32oz glass bottle from some lemonade. I filled the bottle with nutrient solution (AG nutes, 6ml/gallon) and added 2ml of HydroGuard. I also fashioned a cover for the bottle (to block light) using an old shirt sleeve and a paperclip!    |

I like this variety! Only one week later and it is already forming a bulb.  |

Was surprised to see the bulb form above the "soil", but it makes sense for the space, did you do anything to make it be above the surface? It is a pretty radish!

I did not - I have had varieties (like the Crimson Giant) that start in the hole and "eat" some of the sponge as it grows, which means I need to cut off part of the exterior before I eat it, but this one is forming nicely. |

I am very happy with this variety - the leaves are staying small.  |

I've got to try radishes! Give them a try! With a lot of varieties that are only 30 days until harvest, they are fast and fun to grow  |

Harvested this today! I'll have to find out how it tastes, but as far as growing it went, this might be my new favorite radish variety.   |
