I just LOVE this radish!!! Mild flavor, huge size for such an early radish. Beautiful color! We cook our radishes around here, and these radishes make a nice meal with fewer radishes. They have a wonderful sweetness, and do not seem to get woody very easily. Over all they are the most beautiful radish in a bunch I have ever seen. I am only growing this radish this year, and I hope to save a lot of seed. I bought 1/4 of a lb. and I am thinking about buying more. |
