Black Spanish Round

60 to 80 days — 'Black Spanish Round' radishes develop into large, turnip-shaped globes that reach up to three inches in diameter with tall tops. The skin is blackish colored and its flesh is solid, crisp, and typically pungent (hot). As they are generally used for winter storage, sow in July or August, and store in moist sand after harvested.

This very old variety dates back prior to 1824 and has likely been in cultivation for hundreds of years. Each packet contains three grams, which is approximately 250 seeds.
Planting Instructions: Radishes are generally very easy to grow. They are best when sown in spring or late summer but with care can be planted from February to September. Plant small amounts, 5 to 7 days apart for a steady supply.

Plant seeds directly outdoors as soon as soil can be worked. Plant ½ inch deep, ½ inch apart in rows at least 8 inches apart. Firm soil and keep moist until seedlings appear. Radishes have shallow root systems so do keep them watered.

Harvest as soon as roots reach desired size.

★★★★★ A real radish
By Kyle Haines on February 3, 2016

These things are not subtle. If you are not sure you really like radishes, you might want to find a different variety. I pickled them with surprisingly great results, and used in soups where they worked well. If you are interested in the greens, get them young because they get bristly. Otherwise, they produced well even though neglected, but space a little extra because they get big.

★★★★★ Great radish
By Valerie Whitman on July 31, 2012

I was able to grow these in the fall and they produced tasty, spicy radishes. Left some in the ground because it got cold and I got sluggish and when I finally pulled them up, THEY WERE THE SIZE OF MY HEAD!! =D Had fun growing these. They needed no care at all.
