This is my first time planting a giant radish strain, and i was impressed with its hardyness. Even during the iowa drought in remained constant.In the end from only planting five seeds for an experament, i ended up, with little care, 3 radishes over 1 foot long and 12 pounds. This is the best radish i have ever grown and will continue to grow this strain from now on.
