Purple Plum Radish
Purple Plum radish is a vibrant and flavorful heirloom variety that adds a pop of color and a peppery kick to your garden and culinary creations. With its deep purple skin and crisp white flesh, this radish is as visually appealing as it is tasty. The roots have a mild, sweet flavor that complements salads, sandwiches, and snacks. They can be pickled for a tangy treat, or enjoy them fresh with a sprinkle of salt.
To plant, choose a well-drained and sunny location in your garden. Ensure the soil is loose, rich in organic matter, and free from rocks or clumps. Sow the seeds directly into the soil about half an inch deep and one inch apart. Water the area thoroughly after planting to initiate germination.
Maintain consistent moisture throughout the growing season, but be cautious not to overwater, as radishes prefer well-drained soil. As the Purple Plum radishes mature quickly, usually within 25-30 days, monitor their progress regularly. Harvest when the roots reach about one to two inches in diameter for the best flavor and texture.
