Comments

Summer Rougette A new globe variety which is a traditional radish shape. The colour is bright red (ideal for colouring salads) and the flesh is crisp and juicy. This variety matures very quickly and copes with pests well.

Summer Sparkler 3 Globe shaped, crimson body, large white tip. Good flavour and crisp. NIAB Approved; RHS Award of Merit



Summer Saxa One of the earliest radishes. Perfectly round roots with bright scarlet skin and crisp white flesh. Stays fresh for a long time after harvest.

Winter Mino Early Long cylinder shape, white body. One of the best winter types. A Japanese Daikon radish.

Message: I have no radish growth! the ends of the plant are red, but reading on page one I can see that is because of the lack of space, but on the other end the plant is really long and growing in abundance are chili shaped things ! about 3/4"long, loads of them, can you tell me what they are please! pale green in colour.
