Overview
Rudolf comes from Bejo Seeds (1997) and is one of the quickest spring radishes around, with round, bright red globes on short to medium tops. It has high tolerance to cracking and to developing pith, which matters with a radish this fast, because roots left past size deteriorate quickly. Sow shallowly as soon as the soil can be worked in spring, or a month or so before the first fall frost, thinning to about 2 inches; grow it only in cool weather since it bolts fast in summer heat. Flesh is crisp and white with a clean, mild taste.
