German Giant Parat Radish - True to its Claim on the Package

rnewste · February 10, 2011

Very rarely do I find the (glowing) description on a seed package actually translates into actual results. Here was a description for a Radish that I simply couldn't believe:

"""Comments: Red Globes as Big as Baseballs. Never gets too hot or fibrous. Ready at marble size, but sweet and mild no matter how large they get. A few feed a crowd! Approximately 250 seeds per packet. 29 days."""

So when I started to harvest them a few days ago, I thought they had sent me Beet seeds instead:

While not quite baseball size, some of the ones I've picked are near tennis-ball diameter. Taste has been pretty good too.
