I try to grow a patch or more of “extra” radishes that never get eaten but go to seed & provide long standing blooms for pollinators. It’s also great to plant radishes to physically break up hard, compacted clay soil. For double impact, plant as a fall cover crop! This will provide your soil with much needed organic matter when the radishes die off & rot over winter 😊 #heirloom #grownfromseed #flower #whiteflower #white #radish #pollinatorplant #pollinators #covercrop

@cyndi Yes!! & seed saving! I forgot to mention that but I definitely do that too 😊It’s nice to meet a like-minded pollinator lover such as yourself! Pollinators are SO important!! Our lives literally depend on them so it’s kind of crazy when they are overlooked by some gardeners 🙁 Luckily it’s an issue that is coming to the forefront more these days along with organic gardening practices which I’m all about! 👍

@cyndi I also am an organic gardener & I couldn’t agree with you more!! 🤗 I love nature so much too. I am most at peace when I’m out in my garden...which I admit is a lot 😆
