Has anyone grown any Watermelon Radishes? I love Radishes so when I saw the seed packet for the Watermelon Radishes I had to try growing them. I just harvested my first one, it was so yummy, a bit spicier then a normal radish but just as good. I can not wait for the others to come up.

I am not a radish lover but I have seen these cute little things. Almost makes me want to eat one but not quite.

Secretly I was hoping they might taste a bit like Watermelon, but that is not the case.

Here in N Michigan we plant this type in late summer/early autumn. We consider them a winter radish. So good grated into a salad. And did you know that radishes “sweeten up” if roasted?
When asked “How are you?”, I reply, “Better than good!” |

I never heard of watermelon radishes before.
Sounds good!

I've roasted radishes along with other root vegetables. Radish leaves are also good to eat either cooked with other greens or in soup, also in salads.

Debbie, I haven't heard of these either. I was hoping you would say they tasted like watermelon! Then I would definitely give them a try.

Those look amazing! I'm not a huge radish fan but I might look into those based on how cute they are LOL! Thanks for sharing.

Darlene, they are a bit spicy (hot) compared to other radishes but not too bad. I love them.
