Johnny's Seeds sells them. The flesh is crisp and very hot. They mellow a bit if kept in the fridge a few days. I grow them for my dad, but in the fall, they'll grow twice that big. He likes to eat them with salt and cheese.Ribbithttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01460673212389110633noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4930778534030920874.post-19239461311238202052009-05-15T12:04:00.000-04:002009-05-15T12:04:00.000-04:00Oh my gosh - those radishes ARE huge!

I actually grow them for my dad and he slices them, covers each slice with salt, stacks the slices and waits for a while and eats them with cheese. It's not bad, but man, are they spicy.<br /><br />They actually grow much larger than that in the fall. You can really only do four per SQFT, one in each corner. If you want them really large do two per sq ft, alternating corners.Ribbithttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01460673212389110633noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4930778534030920874.post-33491213315774494042009-05-14T05:10:00.000-04:002009-05-14T05:10:00.000-04:00Just Jen..I know, I almost didn't let the cat out ...Just Jen..I know, I almost didn't let the cat out of the bag since I figured people would think I'd judge on grammar.
