| Radish "Easter Egg" grew OK. Our wet weather gave them a watery taste/not a good flavor. |

| Size was good with all between 1"-2" in diameter, they were thinned twice before harvest. All four colors had a range of different flavors, red and pinks having a defined hot kick. We had some cracking. Took 30 days to mature. |

| My 5-year old planted these in his garden this year with good success. Good size and shape, and colors were as advertised on packet. Radishes were predominately red, purple, pink. A few white, but I think those were late germinaters that I may have thinned out. Different colors seemed to germinate at different times, some a couple of weeks later than others. Some colors had fairly mild heat, others much hotter. |

| bye bye, nice knowing you. Not worth the hype. Not nearly as pretty as some others. They were much harder to sell too, I guess because it was hard to get that cleaned polished look. so bye |
