Radishes

[uulwyn]

Hi all,

I have just about picked all my 'cherry belle' radishes and about to sow more, then it occured to me that winter is coming and should i sow a different variety. I was thinking 'china rose', will this be ok to sow now?

Thanks

Hi Uulwyn

I'm away from home so dont have my seed packets and info to hand, but I grew a few radish late on last year.
Obviously I am a bit further south than you but I grew them in my raised beds, only planted a single row, but they pretty much all grew.
From memory I dont think it was China Rose I grew, but it was a winter variety, and I had no problems.

wow, live and learn, I didn't know there were such things as "Winter Radishes", where have I been? Thank you UU. I now learn that Chiltern Seeds (for example) sell several varieties, including China Rose, as Winter Radishes, see
Radish, Winter Winter 'China Rose' (Heirloom Variety) Cruciferae Winter Radish from Chiltern Seeds online shop - Chiltern Seeds secure online shop
Off to get some now! b.
