Radishes are probably the easiest and fasted crop in the home vegetable garden.

Keep the soil consistently moist for mild radishes. Outdoors culture with dry periods will stress the radishes and make them taste a lot sharper and spicier.

Cooking radishes tends to reduce the spiciness. Especially boiling makes them rather bland.
