Care instructions
The amazing edible-podded radish, this variety produces loads of tender, large seed pods that add a delicious flavor to salads and stir-fries, also superb pickled. We have collected seed in Thailand for this old Asian heirloom that was grown in US gardens in the 1860s. A real gourmet treat.

Cabbage-relatives that come originally from Asia, need cooler conditions to be at their best but may be grown through the summer in all but the hottest climates. Salad types may be sown from earliest spring, at 2-3 week intervals. Fall or Winter radishes are best sown 45 days or more before first frost of fall. They are grown, stored and used like turnips.
