Plum Purple Radish

I loved these. I grew five varieties of radish in my garden last year and by far these were my favorite. They survived a late frost, grew, and had a sweeter taste than other varieties. Much more bite than a turnip, but not so much that you wanted to use it as a spice, not a vegetable, the outer skin turns a blueish purple when cooked, and it's great for slicing and pickling for adding to salads and sandwiches.

30-35 days to maturity, amazing color, never spicy or woody. Direct sow every 2 weeks for a continuing supply all season.

My favorite of all the radishes. 30 day grow time reduces chance of bolting. Always delicious and crisp with just enough warmth to know it's a radish. Doesnt stay in my garden long enough to get woody and we grow it all season long.

I wish I could attach photos. These are outstanding radishes; mild enough to share with kids and radish-nay-sayers. I grew these in Zone 6b. Direct seed sow in my cattle panel greenhouse in late February. It took a little longer to harvest since I started them in cool weather, but harvested just under 2 months later. These are plump, healthy, delicious, and not very spicy. We put the radish greens in our smoothie. This is a keeper in our family!!!

I can't say anything bad about these radishes. They are a pretty purple and a pleasant change from the typical red and white radishes. As others have said they are mild enough for kids. I like eating them whole, but they are great for adding to salads or fish tacos. Super easy to grow in spring in Northern Virginia. I'll try a fall crop later this year.
