Something that I have always loved, I spent some time in Japan, maybe 10 years ago now,

and feasted upon, of course, sushi, but also dicon radish, in almost every preparation

you could think of in Japan, and then I wasn't gardening at the time, but when I did get

into gardening, I tried to grow some dicon, it did pretty well, but I've grown, I would

say, more smaller style radishes since then, and I was looking at Regine's website, Asian

some people that are going to argue that hey, somebody grow it in summer, they find, but

they really need some special care, they just shake, cool down, try to cool down the plant,

before gardener will grow something at home, I always say that we should grow it in the

right season, right, radish is cool weather vegetable, so usually we grow it in autumn, autumn

it's very important that to avoid any very low temperature in settling stage when it

grows the seedling, you cannot let it expose to cold weather like under 50 degree for too
