Watermelon Radish - Unique Large Radish with Pink Inner Flesh
Radish - Watermelon - Raphanus sativus
Hardy Annual Heirloom. A uniquely colored and very large radish, the watermelon radish grows to about 4" causing it often to be mistaken for a turnip. It has green shoulders that fade to brilliant white on the exterior and bright pink inner flesh. The white part is hotter and the interior is peppery-sweet. Watermelon radishes are an extremely mild radish.
Did You Know? The Watermelon Radish is a type of daikon radish that is called Shinrimei in its native land of China.
Soil and Water: Radishes prefer well-drained soil with plenty of added organic matter. They have low nutrient requirements; especially avoid excess nitrogen to promote good root development. Preferred soil pH is 6.0-7.0.
Planting and Growing: Cool weather is needed for best development. Sow seed directly in late summer and fall rather than spring or else these radishes will bolt rather than form nice round roots.
Harvesting and Storage: Harvest is best when 3" or so in diameter. Watermelon radishes grow milder and woodier the longer you wait to harvest them. May keep 1-2 weeks in the fridge.
Soil Temperature: 45-95°F
Planting Depth: 1/2"
Germination: 4-12 Days
Height At Maturity: 4"-6"
Days to Maturity: 55 Days

Watermelon radishes are a delightful and visually striking addition to any garden. These vibrant, organic seeds, available from Peaceful Valley Farm & Garden Supply, offer the opportunity to grow a unique and colorful variety of radish.
Characteristics
Organic watermelon radishes, scientifically known as Raphanus sativus var. radicula, are renowned for their stunning appearance. These radishes are not like the conventional red or white varieties you may be accustomed to. Instead, they feature a captivating and visually appealing flesh that resembles the vibrant colors of a watermelon. The outer skin is typically green and pale, while the inner flesh ranges from pale pink to deep magenta, creating a striking contrast.
Growing Requirements:
Soil: Watermelon radishes thrive in well-drained, fertile soil. Loose and loamy soil with a pH level between 6.0 and 7.0 is ideal. Prepare your garden bed by amending the soil with compost to ensure optimal growing conditions.
Sunlight: These radishes require full sun exposure for at least six hours a day. Ensure they receive adequate sunlight to promote healthy growth and vibrant colors.
Watering: Keep the soil consistently moist, but avoid overwatering to prevent rot. Regular, deep watering is crucial during the growing season.
Temperature: Watermelon radishes prefer cool weather and are best grown in spring or fall. They can tolerate light frosts but should be protected from harsh freezing temperatures.
Spacing: Plant the seeds about 1 inch apart in rows, with rows spaced 12 inches apart. Thin the seedlings to allow proper spacing, ensuring they have enough room to develop.
Maintenance: Regularly remove weeds and provide organic mulch to conserve soil moisture and suppress weed growth. Fertilize with a balanced organic fertilizer as needed.
Culinary Uses
Watermelon radishes are not only visually appealing but also offer a mild, slightly peppery flavor with a hint of sweetness. Their unique appearance makes them an excellent addition to salads, slaws, and other dishes where their colors can shine. Here are some culinary ideas:
Fresh Salads: Slice the watermelon radishes thinly and add them to your favorite salads for a pop of color and flavor.
Pickling: Watermelon radishes can be pickled to preserve their unique colors and flavors. They make an attractive addition to relishes and pickled vegetable platters.
Roasting: Roasting watermelon radishes brings out their sweetness and mellows their peppery taste. Toss them with olive oil, salt, and your favorite seasonings, then roast until tender.
Garnishes: Use thin slices of watermelon radish as a vibrant garnish for various dishes, including sushi, appetizers, and main courses.
Radish Chips: Slice watermelon radishes thinly and bake or dehydrate them to create healthy and colorful radish chips.

Let customers speak for us
I grow this in old litter boxes for a bunny & Guinea pig rescue- it is a great treat! Grows fast, thick and moist. I also grow it in my catio for my cats
High quality saffron corms that shipped when they said they would. They started sprouting in my cabinet within a week so definitely plant them quickly after receiving.
They looked good when the plants arrived. Waiting for planters to transplant so they'll have more room, but not planting in the garden to avoid the mint from spreading all over. They're still alive....
Beautiful seed garlic
This tree takes a lot of patience, both in years to fully fruit out and in terms of how late in the season the peaches finally ripen, - the end of September here in zone 5b, - but boy are they amazing when they come in! I have two other peach trees, - Redhaven and Reliance, which have wonderful fruit, but these Indian Free White peaches are amazing. The aroma alone is incredible. These also have thicker skins, more "fuzz," which you can rub off, and are a bit on the acidic side, but OH so yummy! I have gotten raves from the farmers who tried them.
Been using this for last couple growing season. Works wonders for the garden.
This hose gets dragged over bark and around raised garden beds, and also over concrete and a weedy hillside to water a couple trees. So far it has performed well and there aren't any leaks or kinks!
I have not had a chance to plant these yet as it’s still a little early. Package came quickly and garlic was beautiful, can’t wait to plant it.
This is a great addition to my veg garden area!
These branch supports work well, are sturdy, and relatively cheap. While you do have to provide your own poles, you can buy wooden or metal ones of your needed length at hardware or home improvement stores. We ordered ten at first and then bought ten more after seeing how the first ones worked.
Of course I wanted a hand made wooden trug, but they are expensive! This plastic one is easy to clean, and the perfect size. I love the drainage holes.
No lightweight nonsense here! These are the one of the industry standards in tree pots and they have become our go to on the tree farm. You will find lightweight look-a-likes out there, but most only serve one time use. These have held up for years and been used multiple times in some cases.
This has become one of my new favorites for all around propagation. From seeds to cuttings we use this mix for our fig trees and have had unbelievable success. The mix is formulated for strong and fast root development. No complaints about it!
These trays are great. Everything is ready to go.
I use them for cuttings and seed starting and haven't been disappointed yet.
I had the frustration of having my dog dig up my citrus trees and figs out of their containers. I was furious. This granular repellent has stopped the dog completely. So now, the dog can stay.
