I direct sowed these radishes some time ago and—whoops—forgot about them! Cleaning out beds today and took me a second to figure out what they were until I noticed little pink tops popping out of the dirt! I left these little guys completely on their own. I didn’t water, didn’t cover, and left them in way, way too long. But despite all of my failings, I still got some beautiful radishes that taste delish. North Texas. Will be ordering more!

First time I have grown these longer French radishes. Planted them in Atlanta 7b on March 23rd and sure enough - 28 days later I have radishes for use in salad. Love these and I am going to order more today.
