Overview
Cincinnati Market is a long-rooted heirloom radish that appears in Vilmorin's The Vegetable Garden of 1885 and is also called Long Scarlet. Roots are deep rose-red, tapered, around 6 inches long, with crisp white flesh that stays mild if pulled at full size; tops are medium. It takes roughly 25 to 30 days from seed. Sow a half inch deep in loose, deeply worked soil, thin early to a couple of inches so roots do not fork, keep water consistent to avoid cracking, and re-sow every two weeks through the cool season.
