French Breakfast Radish Seeds – Non-GMO Heirloom

are as pretty on the plate as they are in the garden. A favorite of market gardeners for generations, they add fast color and crunch to any spring or fall bed. Who it's for Ideal for impatient gardeners and cooks who want a fast, reliable first harvest, and for anyone who enjoys a milder, less biting radish for fresh eating. How & when to plant Direct sow as soon as the soil can be worked, about 4 weeks before your last frost, and again every 10 days for a steady supply. Plant seeds 1/2 inch deep and 1 inch apart in rows 6 inches apart, in full sun to light shade. Radishes thrive in cool weather and grow well in USDA zones 2–11. Keep soil evenly moist for tender, non-woody roots. Harvest Roots are ready in just 25–30 days. Pull when they reach about 2–3 inches long and the shoulders are firm; harvest promptly, as radishes left too long turn pithy and sharp. Benefits & uses French Breakfast radishes are a French bistro staple, traditionally served whole with sweet butter and a pinch of sea salt. They are excellent sliced into salads, tucked into sandwiches, or eaten raw as a crunchy snack. The tender greens are also edible and good sautéed. Growing guide: New to this variety?
