The USDA Zone info is a great tool for gardeners to help us figure out your gardening schedule. The most important data that the zone info tells us is average last frost and the lowest expected temperature for your area.

In Aberdeen you can estimate when it's the best time to plant radishes by looking at the USDA zone info.

Planting Calendar for Radishes

Frost tolerance for radishes:	Very tolerant of frost.
When to plant:	Up to 7 weeks before last frost.

Since radishes are very cold tolerant you can plant them quite a bit earlier in the year than more sensitive plants.

The earliest that you can plant radishes in Aberdeen is February. However, you really should wait until March if you don't want to take any chances.

The last month that you can plant radishes and expect a good harvest is probably September. You probably don't want to wait any later than that or else your radishes may not have a chance to grow to maturity. If you are starting your radishes indoors then you might be able to get away with starting them a couple of weeks earlier.
