Best radish variety - hands down!
by Zach
I've tried a lot of other spring radishes over the years, but nothing beats this one. It's always surprisingly slow to bolt (in my opinion). I always get a really huge harvest of this, and end up having to pickle most of it.
I even get good roots from these radishes with my incredibly tough clay soil in Southern Wisconsin.
Easy and fast to grow
by AZ Gardener
These are easy and fast to grow. In AZ there are very hot summers, so these do best in november- end of march( for sweet radishes). I was able to harvest in just about 2 months! I have planted these in containers and they do well because they are longer than most radishes. The flavor is delicious and they are quite good pickled! The leaves are edible but make sure to saute if you don't like the fuzzy.
Best radish I've grown
by Mitchell
Best radish I've grown. Great germination, grows fast and large. Roots mainly developed above ground, so they were very easy to harvest. Also grew well in semi compacted soil. Execent mild taste. Tops are also very edible. These will definitely be my main radish crop.
Tender and sweet.
by Sheila
These are the best radishes I've grown over the years. Never peppery. Long enough so that I harvest more radish per square inch. Very juicy. Great as a snack.
