French Breakfast 3 Radish


I thought it was time I thinned my French Breakfast radish but instead of thinning them I ended up with a few nice bunches of radishes !

Here's what Wikipedia says about them :-

French Breakfast is an elongated red-skinned radish with a white splash at the root end. It is typically slightly milder than other summer varieties, but is among the quickest to turn pithy.

Useful as a catch crop.

Radishes are rich in Vitamin C and potassium and contain sulphur compounds.
