Radish, National 2
Raphanus sativus var. sativa
The National 2 radish is a semi-early variety, renowned for its round pink roots with white tips. With its firm and crunchy texture, National 2 is ideal for enjoying straight from the garden or eaten raw with a sprinkle of salt and some butter. Its green leaves can also be used to prepare delicious soups. Make sure to water them regularly to avoid excessive spiciness.
Growing instructions
Sow from March to August in rows 10 cm apart. Ensure consistent moisture and keep soil loose. Elder leaf mulch helps repel flea beetles. Harvest continuously. Radishes do great intercropped with other vegetables.
