I can’t guarantee we won’t have a sudden deep freeze, of course, but that seems to happen less and less as climate change progresses and radishes are pretty tolerant of light freezes (especially mulched). NB: do keep an eye on the temps on warmer days, as the inside of hoop houses and greenhouses can get surprisingly warm surprisingly fast in early spring.<\/p>\nHappy gardening.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
