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.

Lake, Illinois, United States

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
