  3. Question

    Tim

    I was wondering if this radish can be sown after frost kills everything off? I have two gardening areas and only enough peas and oats mix for one location and was considering Radish for the other.

      I would go ahead and plant the radish, it is extremely cold-tolerant

      all daikon could be termed bio-drill on account of their ability to penetrate plowsole. If “bio-drill” is a particular selection, then we don’t have it, this is standard white daikon. r
