HOW TO GROW
Sowing: Since Black Spanish are winter radishes, they should be planted about two months before the first expected fall frost. Plant Black Spanish round radish seeds in very rich, deeply worked up soil about 1/2" deep and 1" apart; later, thin the seedlings 4-6" apart. Black Spanish radishes do not tolerate heat well.
Growing: Radishes do well with consistently moist soil and the addition of organic matter such as compost. Do not allow the soil to dry out, but also avoid overwatering as this can cause splitting.
Harvesting: Black Spanish radishes have the best taste when harvested at 3-4" in diameter. They have a strong, hot flavor and store well for winter use.
Seed Saving: Radishes will cross pollinate with all other varieties of radish, and must be isolated by at least half a mile from other varieties to protect genetic purity. Allow the radish plant to fully mature and send up a flowering stalk; the pods will form and turn from green to brown. Pick the brown pods and allow them to dry for several days. Thresh out the Black Spanish round radish seeds by opening the pods by hand, or by applying pressure to crush them. Store the seeds in a cool, dry place for up to five years.

a very speedy delivery and greatly received
New Year seed order.
Thank You for the prompt delivery of our New Year Seed Order. Very pleased with your varieties and seed volumes.
Nice packaging!
I ordered 29 packets of seeds. They arrived quickly and beautifully packaged in mylar with sort of a zip lock closure. I can't speak to the viability of the seeds, but I will update after I plant them. Since I just moved to Florida, not sure which of these will grow here. Must get these winter vegetables in the ground soon as it is almost December.
So happy
I thank you for your hard work. I run a micro farm and black spanish radishes are the top seller. I'd love to get more info on wholesale pricing
