magpye Posted May 25, 2009 Share Posted May 25, 2009 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. magpye Someone told me I was ignorant and apathetic, I don't know what that means, nor do I care.

Chorlton Posted May 25, 2009 Share Posted May 25, 2009 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. Chorlton Tichmarsh Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
