Racines longues et cylindriques de qualité supérieure à l'extrémité blanche. Mordez-le et vous apprécierez le goût à la fois rafraîchissant et piquant, et le côté craquant.

Radishes grow well in most soils, but prefer rich, moist free draining soils. Sow at regular intervals from March-August into well cultivated soil. Sow very thinly 1cm (½in) deep in drills 15cm (6in) apart. Thin out seedlings to 3-5cm (1-2in) apart. Water during dry spells. For summer sowings choose a moist cool spot to prevent running to seed. As radishes grow so fast and use less of the soil goodness, use them totally as a catch crop with other slower-maturing produce. Harvest as soon as the roots reach reasonable size, if left too long they will become hot and woody.
