    The weather pattern this year has been hard on radishes. Of the salad radishes I grow, only Pink Beauty and Royal Purple produced well. Royal Purple is a bit slower than Pink Beauty, but developed equally nice radishes without bolting. Bolting was a major problem with icicles German Giant and Salad Rose this year.
