French Breakfast radishes have a unique oblong shape, making them great for dipping! They are bright red on the top and have snow-white tips. These are fast and easy to grow with only 24 days to maturity! Cool weather is best for this variety, and consistently moist soil is recommended.
 

Though the exact origin of French Breakfast radishes is unknown, renowned seed expert James J. H. Gregory of Marblehead, Massachusetts first offered them for sale in his seed catalog in 1875.
Sowing: Direct sow the first crop of radishes in rich soil, about four weeks before the last expected spring frost. Plant French Breakfast radish seeds in deeply worked up soil about 1/2" deep and 1" apart; later, thin the seedlings 2-3" apart or more for larger radishes. For a continuous harvest, plant a new crop every two weeks. Since most radishes do not tolerate heat well, it is best to avoid planting French Breakfast radish seeds in the heat of midsummer. For a fall crop and winter storage, plant about two months before the first expected fall frost.
 
 
Growing: Radishes do well with consistently moist soil and the addition of organic matter such as compost. Do not allow the soil to dry out, but also avoid overwatering as this can cause splitting.
Harvesting: French Breakfast radishes taste best when harvested at a length of 3". The flavor is mildly spicy and the texture crisp.
