Radish

Does anyone know of any decent radish variety?, they all seem bland when compared with the ones Dad used to grow. I have tried several but not yet found any that are hot and crisp.
TIA

 

I know exactly what you mean ! I have just bought a packet of seed with mixed varieties in , so am waiting to see what they are like. Only problem is.... I wont know the names of any I like

 

I grow 'French Breakfast'. They don't blow your head off, but they are very tasty.

Pick them whilst they are young and succulent - don't let them get big and woody or they will be bland and horrible.

 

I also have grown French Breakfast, and although crisp, they dont have much 'bite', thats why I am trying the mixed variety to see if there are any stronger ones in there :hehe:

 

i hear sparklers are hot? is this true.

not a big radish fan personally.

 

Try black spanish, size of a parsnip with black skin that needs peeling. But like andrewh says, cant go too far wrong with french breakfast.

 

mind you, we gotta consider this as we get older.

We have "Prince Rotin", which seems very successfull and to our tastes plenty tasty!
