Today I introduce the Roxanne radish a 2015 AAS National Winner. The video shows you why. I will be doing a new series for 2017 based on AAS Winners. I got to tour some of the All America Selections seed trial grounds in August. I was so impressed by not only how they select winning vegetable varieties but also by the passion the seed breeders have... so this series was born.

where do you buy the seeds, it's been more than two months,my french breakfast vhavent done well

hello Gary how are you? a quick question i live in zone 4, is there any way can we save Roots of Okra in winter and reuse again in following spring? my question if i put my okra plant roots in water and save inside house in basement will this effort will save the plant? i will try this year to see what will happen.
your videos so informative and simple thanks for uploading.

Hi Gary, for the 1st time my french breakfast radishes did great! I used potting soil from another crop, and put them into a different container, 15 inch pot. kept them in part shade, watered, ignored them til time to pick! radishs were not too hot either. lucked out I think.

thanks for the radish tips. Always looking for good seed varieties, didn't know about the AAS source, thanks

Your video quality is just outstanding! Great audio as well.

I didn't used to have any trouble growing radishes but the last couple of years I've not had much luck. Maybe it's the varieties I've been trying.

Hi Gary, you know the saying ( time is valuble) and we don't need to waste time growing Veggies that aren't suited for your area. I will definitely visit the American selection site to see what grows well in my area. Thanks for sharing this info with us. Happy Gardening ! 😁

Thanks! Very useful for me!

struggled for years to find a radish that performs well in zone 3 to 4 . Such a simple plant to grow and such a hard one to grow well, very frustrating .

More great information Gary. I didn't find that many vegetables in the list for my area. Best wishes Bob.

Maybe u should also consider planting the oldest variety u can find. History search pts to China as the origin of radishes. I would consider growing the larger older varieties.

Where are you?

Oh my. radishes. these look wonderful.

Wow thats so cool! Looks like u will be growing the Roxanne radishes they did amazingly well!!👍🏼take care Gary!🌞

That's a nice radish. I will remember that variety. Thanks!

The Roxanne Radish did very well, Gary. I've struggled with radish as well, so I'm inspired by your AAS radish and will definitely look into it. Thanks for sharing!

I'm in USDA zone 5a (bordering 5b) and find the French Breakfast to grow to "thumb sized" within 30 days, however they are a bit spicy. I'm looking for a milder tasting radish that grows just a well in this zone.

Wow Gary those are pleasantly plump for 1 month! I have the same problem with my French Breakfast & Diakon radishes look like spindly twigs. I'm in Zone 9, maybe the Roxanne will do well here. GOOD side by side comparison for your zone!
