Radishes

I/we are not gardeners so any help would be appreciated.

Very easy to grow and quite quick but, not much flavour.

When I was a boy, yes I can remember back that far, all radish had 'bite', not any more.

Does anyone know a variety that will 'phew, that's hot', if you know what I mean.

Someone told me I was ignorant and apathetic, I don't know what that means, nor do I care.

Most summer varieties have been developed to be milder in taste to suit the majority of modern bland palat.

Try Scarlet Glode it's a 100year old variety so more likely to have retained the taste your after.

Also try Black Spanish Round which is a winter variety (sow june-august) and certainly has the "bite" your after.

You can get the above from www.organiccatalogue.com

Make sure you pick your current crop as soon as ripe.

Waiting for them to get too big will result in them drawing more water and dilution of the "bite" you want.
