French Breakfast radishes nearly ready for harvesting

The last week has seen the radishes suddenly go supersonic.  Checkout the photo from last week, and compare it to this.  A huge growth spurt in just one week.

So it seems it is almost ready for eating.  I'm stunned how much it has grown this week, after such a lacklustre start.  Still, I think I'll leave it for one more week as allegedly the longer it is in the ground, the pepperiar it gets, if that is a word (probably not).  so that will be 5 weeks from sowing to harvest, which is longer than I was expecting, but not by much.


Remember to click on the "French Breakfast Radish" link on the right of this page or directly at the bottom of this post to see week by week how the radishes have grown from seed to the date of harvest.
