Radish harvesting before the big freeze
If you want to harvest radishes before a big freeze, you should first check the forecast to see when the freeze is expected to occur. Radishes can tolerate a light frost, but a hard freeze will damage or kill the plants. If the freeze is imminent, it is best to harvest the radishes as soon as possible. To harvest radishes, gently pull them out of the ground by the tops, being careful not to damage the roots. You can also use a garden fork or trowel to loosen the soil around the radishes and then lift them out. Once the radishes are harvested, remove the tops and store the radishes in a cool, dry place. If you have a lot of radishes and need to store them for a longer period of time, you can also try pickling or preserving them in other ways.
