I planted a small batch just to try pickling, and it was perfect. The color stayed vibrant after pickling and the taste remained crisp and tangy.
I use these watermelon radishes in every salad now. They�re easy to grow, vibrant, and add a peppery kick that�s not too strong. Definitely recommend for home gardeners.
My kids loved pulling these radishes out of the soil and seeing the pink inside. They�re crunchy and refreshing. It�s a nice way to get the kids involved in gardening.
I didn�t expect the flavor to be this mild and slightly sweet. The seeds germinated easily and the plants were healthy. I love how they liven up my homemade pickles.
I�ve planted many radishes before, but these watermelon ones were surprisingly easy to grow. Germination was quick and the harvest was plentiful. A beautiful veggie for beginners.
