I planted german giant radishes this year and they were incredible! very large and not pithy. They were a hit at the farmers market.
But with all my radishes, when I planted more around Aug. 1 they didnt do well. Maybe because Im in zone three.. its almost like they required the waxing sun instead of the waning sun.
You guys haven't done this much, have ya? I suggest you study this tiny ad:
