This vegetable was the most beautiful vegetable I had ever seen. Blue was not its prominent color despite its name. Pinkish rich lavender in color...truly a piece of art. Yield was strong. Flavor was good.

Gorgeous vegetable, inside and out. Regular watering in hot weather produced really large radishes, daikon size but still very tasty. Some succumbed to maggots but overall, great crop. Replanted in late summer as well. Would highly recommend.

The Blue Moon F1 Radish grew well despite the hot, dry weather here in CNY . We watered them through drip irrigation.

Sowing was late (early June). Germination was very good. Plants are vigorous. At 35 to 40 days they were producing with a distinct tang, but a little tough.

Strong growth of big radishes. Very pretty. No evaluation for taste, as all were donated to a food bank.

I sowed these directly in the ground in April and started some in pots to transplant into a garden I couldn\'t access until May. Both germinated easily but both also had irregular bulb formation. Some plants formed a long, very pretty blue bulb while other plants just had a long stem. The bulbed radishes were peppery as expected but the skins became tough quickly and the plants bolted early before other radish varieties I grew (Satin F1 and French Breakfast)
