OTHER:
- Watermelon Radishes are a 4" round Chinese heirloom variety that is both meaty & crisp. They are too cute! They look like tiny little watermelons with white & green skin, & pinky-red flesh the color of a watermelon. They look lovely sliced so they can show off all their colors, & can add a lot of fun to salads & other dishes. A lot of people have never seen this beauty before, so it is an great type to grow for market.
- Watermelon Radishes are pretty spicy when they are small, but become sweet & mild with just a slight peppery taste when they are full size. Choose your pleasure, or harvest them both ways. These radishes really like cool weather, & are best fall planted.
