Description
- “What do I know of man’s destiny? I could tell you more about radishes.” – Samuel Beckett, presumably as big a fan of radishes as we are (spoilers: we’re big fans)
- ‘Cherry Belle’ must have somewhere to be because *boy* does it grow quick! Undoubtedly one of the best salad radish varieties out there, with wonderful candy-red, edible taproots and bushy green leaves, ‘Cherry Belle’ is as easy to grow as it is delicious to eat
- Ready to harvest just a few weeks after planting, these radishes have a mildly peppery flavour that adds a definite radishy oomph without ever veering into overpowering territory
- Pickle your radishes, add them to salads or roast and serve as a sumptuous side
- Radishes are great for getting kids involved in gardening for the first time thanks to their super speedy growth – we’re supposedly in an era of instant gratification, after all!
- Perfect for filling gaps in your vegetable plot, you can just as easily grow these radishes in deep pots on your patio or balcony
- Stored in the fridge, your radishes will last for a couple of weeks, whilst they’ll last for half a year or so when kept in the freezer
