Radish French Breakfast

Radish French Breakfast is a solid, sweet, cylindrical shaped radish that sports crimson shoulders and a white tip. It is quick-growing, with crisp, tender roots and a sweet mild flavour. It is oblong (rather than round) and measures about 5cm (2in) long. Like many other radishes, ‘French Breakfasts’ grow quickly. They are ready to eat in just 20 or 30 days.

Radish is a cool-season, fast-maturing, easy-to-grow vegetable. Garden radishes can be grown wherever there is sun and moist, fertile soil, even in the smallest city garden. ‘French Breakfast’ is suitable for planting from spring through to autumn. It holds up and grows better than most early types in summer heat if water is supplied regularly.

An excellent all-purpose variety for successional sowing from late spring, for harvest in early summer, right the way through to autumn. A ‘must’ in every garden, particularly as a row of radishes can be squeezed in as a ‘catch crop’ between slower growing vegetables. It can also be planted in late winter in a protected cold frame, window box or container in the house or on the patio.
