That is one thing I miss growing. I seem to only ever get the standard ones
like in the pic at the store. I would grow all varieties. I love radishes!

Nancy...if you like radish bulbs or greens, they grow fast. Best to
plant a bit once a week or 2 to keep the fresh ones on hand. They
also make good "ground cover" for other plants to help keep the soil
from drying out so fast.

Thanks! I bought this variety because they tolerate heat well.
They aren't very sharp, though they are tasty. I was thinking
I'd start planting a second row tomorrow.

Right now my vegetables look laughably small, but I know they
will take off one day soon ... probably the day before I plan
on putting up the stakes. That's how it usually goes, anyway.
