Black Radish this is a radish I've seen called Spanish and Chinese radish. I call them delicious. They can grow to about 4" across and they can get pretty spicy. They can be grated to put in salads or the grated radish used as a base for the salad. It is very European to eat these while drinking beer. This too is delicious if somewhat digestively flammable the next day. Sow and grow as any other radish. It does take a few months to get any size to them. Needs full sun and water when dry. One note: if you like your radishes hot, I mean really hot, add lots of composted manure. The sulfur in the compost will make the radish a super no
