Hailstone is a beautiful white radish that tastes great. Mild and crisp, it is easy to eat straight from the garden or tossed in a salad. It is both a propos and ironic that we are growing this radish, as our gardens are located in an area known as “Hailstone Alley” –an area of frequent hail storms in south and central Alberta. Even still, we can’t help but love this radish.
How to Plant: Easy to grow. Sow seeds outside just before the last frost date and then sow seeds every 2 weeks into summer for a continuous harvest. Radishes do best in cooler weather. Plant seeds 5mm (¼”), spacing seeds every 2”. Keep soil moist until seedlings emerge. Seeds usually germinate in 4-7 days.
