Since radishes do well in cold you can plant them earlier in the year than more sensitive plants.

The earliest that you can plant radishes in Huntington 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 really do well. Starting your radishes indoors is a great way to get them started a little bit earlier.
