I remain in anticipation of planting. One thing is, as a general rule, no disappointment with the young plants received so far from the 'flower promise'. Thank you for the quality of these.

This Round Pink and White Radish is a semi-early variety of radish that can be sown from February to September. Its edible root is round, bright pink with a white tip. Its firm and crunchy flesh is ideal for eating raw in salads or as an appetiser. Harvest from April to September.
The radish is a hardy annual or biennial vegetable plant, belonging to the Brassicaceae family. The root is the main part consumed, either raw or cooked, and the leaves can also be used in soups or stews. Radishes come in different colours, with red being the most common, but there are also pink, white, and grey varieties. They are generally classified into two main types: salad radishes, represented by small-rooted varieties, and winter radishes, represented by long-rooted varieties. There are also the Japanese radishes, or "daikon", which have a long, white, conical root and are sometimes sold as turnips. Winter radishes have a large, tapering root with a black, pink, or purple skin. The flesh is white, and the leaves are green and deeply cut, forming a compact base. They have a stronger taste compared to salad radishes and can be eaten cooked, like turnips, or raw, like carrots. Winter radishes have many health benefits, containing vitamin C, sulphur, phosphorus, and magnesium. They are known to be antiscorbutic and diuretic, and are recommended for liver and gallbladder issues.
Harvesting and Storage
Salad or summer radishes can be harvested 4 to 6 weeks after sowing. It is important to harvest them regularly once they have formed, without letting them grow too large, to avoid them becoming hollow, pungent, or indigestible. Summer radishes should be consumed quickly. The freshly harvested leaves can be cooked into a delicious soup.
Winter radishes can be harvested 4 to 5 months after sowing. Gently lift them with a fork or spade and let them dry on the ground before bringing them indoors. If they are left in the ground during winter, cover the soil with straw.
Gardening Tips
Sowing radishes and carrots in the same row and at the same time naturally separates the carrot seeds. Once the radishes are harvested, there will be space left for the carrots to grow into. Planting mint alongside radishes can help repel flea beetles, insects that feed on the leaves and create small irregular holes. To have crunchy radishes throughout the season, it is recommended to sow them every 2 to 3 weeks in your garden or in containers.
Organic or "AB" seeds are derived from plants grown in organic farming (without the use of pesticides). They undergo no treatment after harvest. These seeds are suitable for organic market gardening.

Sowing
The staggered sowing of radishes every month is one of the easiest to do. The seeds are placed directly in the ground, in a loosened soil, in rows. Barely cover the seeds with 2cm (1in) of potting soil or fine soil. Lightly press down with the back of the rake and water with a fine spray. Keep sufficiently moist until germination. Radish seeds can be sown all year round, with a preference for late winter to early summer, avoiding periods of high heat, and then in late summer to early autumn, when the soil is still warm, before the first frosts.
Forced radish sowing takes place in situ from February, but protection such as a cold frame or tunnel should be provided until the end of the frosts. The sowing is preferably done broadcast for these early radishes.
Summer radish sowing can be done from May. You can sow as you please until the end of summer, or even at the beginning of autumn if the climate allows, directly in the ground, in rows spaced 10 to 20cm (4 to 8in) apart.
Winter radish sowing takes place from June to November depending on the climate, directly in the ground, in rows spaced 20 to 30cm (8 to 12in) apart.
Radishes like clear and sunny locations, and appreciate light shade in the heart of summer.
Maintenance
Once the seeds have germinated, they need to be thinned out. This operation consists of removing the weakest plants, leaving only the strongest ones, every 4 to 5cm (2in) for radishes for all months, and 10 to 15cm (4 to 6in) for others.
The soil should be kept relatively moist through regular, but not excessive, watering. Hoeing, weeding, and mulching, combined with watering, will help limit the production of spicy radishes. In addition, preserving moisture will prevent flea beetle invasions, which thrive in hot and dry weather.

Hardiness is the lowest winter temperature a plant can endure without suffering serious damage or even dying. However, hardiness is affected by location (a sheltered area, such as a patio), protection (winter cover) and soil type (hardiness is improved by well-drained soil).
