Today I am finally starting my radishes (thanks to ERR0R1755 for the seeds) in my Harvest Elite. See below diagram for layout and types. Park sponges with 2 seeds each and will thin at a later time. No nutes until after germination. Wish me luck!

If I look into each pod, two of the Crimsons have life starting to come out of the seed.

ERR0R1755, should I life the sponge up now a tad or leave it as is? No need to worry about it until it starts forming the bulb, which will be a while from now. The only thing you need to avoid is letting the bulb grow "into" the sides of the pod, aka letting the bulb be constrained by the size of the pod.

WOW, I just took a look at them and they have grown since this mornings picture. I know @cornne said that she saw growth before her eyes. Now I believe it (not that I doubted her).

Just wait til you have the bulb sitting on top..that is the time to watch it grow by the hour(well...not quite)! It is amazing.

Now would be a good time! Also, regarding your Black Spanish Round - if that one doesn't start looking better, you might want to remove and reseed it. I've seen that happen sometimes with radish seeds, but I have no idea what causes it.

Ok thinned the 4 down to one. There is another Black rounded about to come up thru the pod so I will wait and then take out the wirey one.

I am looking forward to the tastes of these different varieties. I had 2 wiry ones as well and I replanted them.
