Radish 'French Breakfast'
An heirloom favourite since the 1880s, the oblong, rose scarlet radishes have crisp, white flesh and mildly pungent, flavoured roots. Harvest in just 35 days when roots are still small. One of our most popular winter radishes with reliable flavour during the growing period.
Radishes are closely related to cabbages, so their requirements are much the same. It is essential to sow radishes thinly, about one seed every 5cm, any closer and they may fail to develop an adequate root for harvesting. The young leaves can be used in salads. Grow radishes with plenty of water and nutrients, as hot, dry weather causes hot, pithy roots.
