OSC Seeds Radish French Breakfast Pkg.

Approximately 400 seeds/pkt (90-100 seeds/gram)

An older variety grown since at least the late 1870s. Produces rich, scarlet red roots with white tips that are crisp, mild and surprisingly sweet. A real favourite that has stood the test of time! Although frost-hardy, roots will not tolerate freezing. Irrigation is essential for best flavour and root consistency.

Sow early varieties in a sunny site as soon as the ground is workable in the spring. Winter radishes are generally sown in mid-summer. Sow seed every two weeks 12 mm deep and about 2.5 cm apart in rows about 30 cm apart. Keep soil evenly moist during germination and growth. Harvest in 3-4 weeks when the roots have reached the size of a large marble. One packet sows approximately 6 m of row. Germination occurs in 5-10 days.
