VegetablesRadish is a fast-growing root vegetable that thrives in cool weather and loose, well-drained soil.
It is an excellent companion plant, helping to break up compacted soil and deter pests like cucumber beetles and aphids.
Radishes mature quickly, making them a great option for intercropping with slower-growing plants. Their spicy leaves can also serve as a trap crop, drawing pests away from more delicate crops.
