RADISH FRENCH BREAKFAST IS SUCH AN EASY GROWER AND A FAST GROWER TOO! JUST 20 TO 25 DAYS UNTIL THEY ARE READY TO EAT, EVEN FASTER FOR BABY GREENS! PLANT NOW!

The ‘French Breakfast’ radish (Raphanus sativus var. ‘French Breakfast’) features a crisp texture and mildly peppery flavour, making it suitable for fresh use in salads, sandwiches or as a snack. This quick-growing spring radish requires minimal garden space and can fill in the gaps between larger, slower-growing vegetable varieties. Radishes are usually planted every two weeks during the growing season to ensure an ongoing crop of the fresh vegetable.

Most grow small, almost cylindrical roots that are no more than 2 inches long, although some types of ‘French Breakfast’ may feature a more rounded shape.

Alternatively, use radishes between slower-growing crops as a means of maximizing your garden space and helping subdue weeds. Plant them every week or two, until hot weather makes them “bolt” or go to seed, for a continuous harvest.

Breakfast radish greens can be harvested as well, at the “baby” stage from half-grown radishes or once they’re mature and full-sized. Use small greens raw but cook mature greens if you find them strong-tasting or dislike their prickly fuzz. Treat the greens as a “cut and come again” crop, selectively harvesting just one or two leaves at a time from each plant.
