Burpless ?

[Chipchopper]

Is there a type of raddish that is burpless that anyone can recommend ?

Unless my googling skills (which, I believe, are usually quite good) have let me down here, I regret that the answer to your question appears to be "No".

I started off my simply googling 'burpless radish'. Then I added double quotes to force Google to look for the specific string (rather than for the two words separately). I still kept getting references to 'burpless cucumbers' though, so I added in filters to exclude the words 'cucumber' and 'cucumbers'. Despite then continuing to add in further filters, and to use every Google trick I know of, I still couldn't find a single web reference to a 'burpless radish'. So, if anyone has ever managed to create one, they seem to be keeping damned quiet about it!

Sorry :(

I'll be sure to post if I get wind of one.

Radishes make my OH burp. I've experimented over the years and Scarlett Globe seem to be the ones that 'repeat' on him the least.

Thanks all,
It looks as though the "French breakfast" radish seems to be the mildest one, available. I just thought someone might know otherwise.

If you're seeking a radish that 'looks like a radish', French Breakfast might, indeed, be your best bet.

However Daikon radishes (which are long, white vegetables) might also fit the bill well:

Yes I do know otherwise and have told you so. French Breakfast is very peppery. Scarlett Globe was my recommendation, after years of growing radishes, which you seem to have ignored.

Polly is right, and Scarlett Globe are quick to grow and tolerate cooler than normal climes as well. Not a big radish though. Red Globe are a little larger and are also less "spicy". The trick with radish is to pick quick.

Radis de dix-huit jours (18 day radish) are very fast to grow in good weather and are therefore succulent, crunchy and digestible. My absolute favourite when I am in France. I've sowed some over here a week ago and am waiting to see how they turn out.

Just an additional thought. Ask yourself how many radishes are you going to eat/give away? I have grown rows of them in the past then dug most up because they are woody and chucked them on the compost. I now just let a few grow on from the first seed sprinkle then repeat when they are gone. Same with Spring Onions, I do two batches instead of throwing half of one away. Enthusiasm was my biggest failing when we started "having a go" all those years ago.

Thank you all for your suggestions and appolloges to Aunt Polly, "who I appear to have ignored, the truth is, I failed to read your post carefully enough. I will indeed give the "globe" variety a try, thank you again.

I just ordered a packet of mixed globe-type, as oposed to the usual long ones.
