| The kids at our garden loved this radish, the large tops made it easy to pluck from the ground and the roots were consistently large, 2", with no splitting despite our wet spring and late harvest. |

| We did not rate this high on flavor. Just didn't appeal to our tasters. |

| Fast growing, fairly large radishes. Did well despite the cold, wet spring. A little hot for my taste though! Gave it a 4 for taste, assuming that most people's tolerance for heat is a little greater than mine. |

| Poor performance in early planting, likely due to our cool, wet spring.
Replanted in late summer and had much better results. Medium size, round radishes (average 2") with lots of foliage. Slightly spicy flavor, good in salads. |

| Not a good cultivar for this area. Huge tops if one likes greens. Easily four times the foliage of a normal radish. Relatively long maturity and not uniform. Does lend itself to extended harvest tho. Forms turnip shaped white radishes, but skin is not smooth. |
