Overview
French Breakfast is the classic oblong radish: 2- to 4-inch scarlet roots that fade to pure white at the tip, with crisp white flesh and a mild pungency. It tolerates hot, dry conditions better than many radishes but is still at its best in cool spring and fall weather. Sow half an inch deep, keep the bed moist, thin early, and pull the roots young since they get pithy and sharp with age and do not store well. Repeat sowings every week or two. About 24 days.
