Radishes in Different Shapes, Colors and Sizes

There is so much beauty in the Garden.  Heirloom Radish is arguably one of the easiest crops to grow in the garden.  Whether you have an acre of land or a small backyard plot, you can grow any variety of Radish.

Today I'm going to share a few of my favorite heirloom Radish varieties from Mary's Heirloom Seeds.

EARLY SCARLET GLOBE RADISH

 22 days. The classic, round red radish with crisp white flesh that is mild and tasty. 

Has better warm weather tolerance than many.

PURPLE PLUM RADISH

*Disclaimer* These radish don't usually get this BIG.  I forgot about this one but it was still delicious!

25 days.  Beautiful variety of crisp radish.  Strong, hardy roots with a beautiful purple skin over crisp white flesh.  A fantastic addition to any salad or dish.

BLACK SPANISH ROUND RADISH

 55 days.  A true heirloom with a snowy white interior and jet black skin.  Black Spanish is a great fall/winter planted radish.
The flesh is crisp and warming. Perfect for salads or raw with a little salt. Easy to grow.

WATERMELON RADISH

 55 days.  The watermelon radish has ball-shaped root that is about 4 inches in diameter. 

The color starts with deep green shoulders that fade to a bright white skin.

 

JAPANESE MINOWASE DAIKON RADISH

 60-70 days.  Popular old Japanese favorite; the giant white roots grow to 24 inches long and 3 inches wide. Sweet and very crisp, this radish is a delight pickled, stir-fried, steamed or raw.

 

CHAMPION RADISH

 28 days.   Smooth, round cherry red radishes in only 28 days.

Champion radishes don't get hot or woody when they reach maturity like other radishes can.

LONG SCARLET CINCINNATI RADISH

 30 days.  Long tapered deep red roots that are 6-7" long. Long Scarlet has crisp, tender white flesh, medium tops, for bunching. Very heavy yielding variety.
