The Radish French Breakfast 3 is a traditional variety that is highly sought after for its mildness and crisp, tender tankard-shaped roots with a white tip. As an old-fashioned favourite, it is fast-cropping and dependable. The roots have a crisp texture and a gentle flavour, making them a great addition to summer salads. For a tasty and fresh supply of radishes all summer long, it is recommended to sow them regularly.
Sowing instructions:
Sow outdoors thinly where they are to crop, 1.5cm deep, directly into finely prepared soil which has already been watered. Allow 23cm (9") between rows. Early sowings, especially those in February will benefit from cloche protection. Seedlings usually appear in 7-10 days. Water well until plants are established. Thin only if plants are overcrowded. Regular sowings made every two to three weeks will ensure a continuous supply.
