    The only radish seeds I buy

    I love French Breakfast Radishes but I hate paying for them in the stores. I picked these up on a trip to the grocery store and realized a packet of seeds cost the same as a bunch. I planted them in my raised bed and the germination rate was incredible. Soon I had more radishes than I knew what to do with! I've tried other seed companies for my French breakfast radishes but never had the same success as I have with BI seeds, so I just stick with these each season

    The seeds grew.

    Good germination and growth in the late season in a planter. They may or may not produce roots. I won't be here to harvest and it is getting into November. The squirrels cleaned out mu spinach, lettuce and carrot though.

    High germination

    Germinated quickly and grew really well. Will continue to plant! Planted these and the Easter egg mix and the French breakfast I prefer.
