I was the one who mentioned them. I've never grown them myself only bought them at the market, this will be the first year. They are very sweet! I like them raw in a salad. Super yummy and no bite!

I'll be growing them this year, so thank you for that info, bower. I'll remember to keep them picked often and when small to keep that sweet taste.

Jeannine Anne, have you tried roasting or sauteeing radishes if you don't like spicy? Both of those cooking methods make radishes lose their bite. I only suggest you try it because radishes are one of my favorite small veg to grow.
