This is a fast, great tasting radish for the garden. However with most radishes, don't attempt to grow them in the summer heat. You will be wasting your time. They bolt very fast in very hot weather. I have tried several times and they bolt too fast. When you plant them in the cooler weather, they do great. One thing I found helpful was to loosen the soil about a 9" to 12" deep. Then mix in some Coco Coir. Not too much though. Just keep in mind that there is not really any nutritional value in coco coir, but is helps retain moisture and keeps the soil loose so it is easy for the radish to grow. Be sure to give them a good fertilizer mixed into the soil when planted, or you can use a liquid fertilizer once they are about a week old. These are a great tasting radish!

Fast growth, good flavor. Stands up to cold weather well and does OK in hot weather. Doesn't need much water unless it's hot and doesn't seem to be bothered by pests. And it never gets the diseases that attack the rest of my garden.

These radishes are easy to grow and have a great taste. I had no problems with pests and planted them in two week intervals for a steady supply.
