PV 5
Leilmall Radish is a traditional winter hardy variety that produces long, tapering roots with attractive rosy pink skins and crisp, pure white flesh. It has a distinctive, slightly pungent taste that adds flavour to winter salads. The leaves can also be added to salads and stir fries.
Its cylindrical roots grows 15 to 20cm (6 to 8in) long, are a deep rose with a white tip; 30 to 50 days to maturity.
Radishes prefer regular garden soil, especially soil that was heavily manured in a previous season and allowed to rest.
Harvesting:
The plants will be ready to harvest when they are of usable size and relatively young from 21 days, starting when roots are less than 1 inch in diameter.
