Raphanus sativus
Lot# RA33003
The French Breakfast radish is an heirloom variety that has been grown since at least the late 1870's. French breakfast produces an oblong radish that is approximately 7-8 cm (3”) long and 2 cm (¾-1”) in diameter. They have rich scarlet red roots with white tips that are crisp, mild and surprisingly sweet. A favourite radish type that has stood the test of time. Although frost hardy, roots will not tolerate freezing. Irrigation is essential for best flavour and root consistency.

Additional Information
Grow radishes in full sun or partial shade. Plant radish seeds in loose, well-drained soil. Remove soil lumps, rocks, and roots from radish planting beds. Obstructions can cause roots to grow malformed. Complete the harvest before the weather grows warm. Warm weather can result in small roots. Long days may also cause radishes to flower. Plant radishes during the shorter days of spring and autumn. In mild winter regions, grow radishes in late autumn and early winter. Radishes can withstand frost. Keep radish planting beds moist but not wet. Even, regular watering will result in quick growth. Radishes that receive too little water will become woody tasting. Prepare planting beds with aged compost. |
