French Breakfast Radish
Certified Organic Seed
Raphanus sativus
Not just for dinner! Eat these tender roots any time of day.
Alright, these may not be sweet enough for your breakfast palate. But they are very nice radishes: elongated and cylindrical, bi-colored red and white, with nice crunchy flesh and decent bolt resistance. While some radish varieties might be sensitive to crowding or otherwise temperamental, French Breakfast is extremely reliable, with nearly every plant in the row producing useful, well-sized roots.

Direct sow in early May in rows spaced 10" apart. Thin small radish seedlings to 2-4" apart, depending on the variety. Keep watered, especially as the season warms up. Harvest radishes as soon as they are round, there is a small window to harvest them before they split. Store radishes without the top to keep roots firm. (Tops are enjoyable in a saute or braising mix.) Radishes are fast growing, so plant in successions to have a steady crop.
