Overview
Mino Early is an open-pollinated Japanese daikon heirloom that matures weeks ahead of standard Minowase types. Roots are long, white and mild, typically 10 to 16 inches, and pithiness comes late so they stay crisp at full size. It handles heat and holds off bolting better than most daikon, which opens a sowing window from late spring through midsummer for a summer-to-fall harvest. Dig the bed deep and remove stones so the smooth cylindrical roots grow straight.
