Overview
Early Scarlet Globe has been in American seed catalogs since the 1800s and is still one of the most dependable spring radishes. The roots are deep globes about an inch across with bright red skin and fine-grained, crisp white flesh that is mildly peppery. Its particular virtue is patience: it keeps its quality a few extra days after reaching size before turning pithy, which forgives imprecise harvest timing in succession plantings. Sow a quarter inch deep in thin rows as early as the soil can be worked in spring, or again in fall, and pull at three-quarters to one inch. Maturity runs 20 to 28 days.
