Munchen Bier question

[Muppet]

Try to grow 1 new thing every year and next year it is Munchen Bier radish.
Question - How big do the bushes? grow e.g height and width? We do SFG and Planter growing and I have no idea where (as of yet, until a kind person tells me) I am going to put them.

Munchen Bier is "about" 20cm high by 20cm wide: Raphanus sativus 'Munchen Bier', Radish 'Munchen Bier' - Shoot

These 'apparently' - unless I mis-read the description as the gin took effect look like sugar snap eas with accompanying foliage. Apparently you pick the pod for alads stir fries etc.

Gin? At 5pm?

Blimey, I need to get a shift on ... I'm only on the wine yet

[veggiechicken]

I've never grown them but isn't it a biggish radish that goes to seed and you eat the seed pods?

[Muppet]

The gin was last night and it must have been 9pm somewhere in the world - and the ss... on the keyboard seem to be giving up!

[veggiechicken]

I think you had trouble with your "p" as well Sue Too much gin maybe

Ok so 20cm x 20 cm is a good size - Thank You 2 Sheds. I don't know about the root itself ( I like surprises) although the site I found did start showing photo's of very large stumpy parsnip looking things!

Maybe it's not the keyboard but my blood sugars - the joy of diabetes for 45 years!

I put a link in my first post for you Muppet. Did you have a look? Did it help?

Thanks for web site address 2 Sheds

I have grown rat tail radish .. They grow about 4ft tall, have plenty of flowers and pods. But you need to pick them early.
Mine are like a bit like chilis . I don't think they're excessively hot though. Cooked they are like cabbage twists.

Probably have seeds if anyone wants some ..

I shall have a look for rat tail radish seeds as they sound brilliant! Thank you

You may find its the same thing Radish Rats Tails Seeds - Suttons Seeds and Plants

It is the same thing.

If you are doing SFG I'd put them in the brassica bed, about 4 to each foot and stick a cane in each corner and tie twine round the canes at foot high intervals. That will hold the foliage up for you. You should be able to pick a few each day for a number of weeks, and it should continue growing more pods.

Can you tell I've seed saved radish before? They can be monsters.
