Radish, White
Raphanus sativus
The "White" radish is a mid-season variety, ideal for cultivation from spring to autumn. Its perfectly round, bright-white roots, about 4 cm in diameter, offer firm, juicy, crunchy flesh.
Pleasantly piquant, this versatile radish can be eaten raw as an aperitif, as a condiment or pan-fried to accompany rich dishes.
Growing instructions
Sow from March to April and from August to September 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.
