Our daikon crossed with our watermelon radish. We saved the seeds and planted them. Here is the result.

    My limited experience tells me radishes of all kinds prefer it cooler, and daikon like a nice long time to grow big, so spring. Driller Daikon greens get nearly two feet tall and shade out everything else near them, but they’re pretty tough and don’t even cook down well. I don’t eat them, but you probably could. Then again, I have more radish greens from smaller radishes than I can manage to eat.

    This is where I got mine: https://meritseed.com/driller-daikon-radish-annual/

      Thank you! I’ll give those a shot. We have that tough Georgia clay that could benefit from that.

        Here’s one of my drillers that I pulled today because it was shading out another plant. This had at least 3 more months to get even bigger. Deer try them, but don’t seem to like them. Insect damage is minimal.

        In the background you can see how the patch of them shade out any weeds. Or anything else low growing!

          Thanks for the photo! Nice that it shades out weeds as well.

        You leave them in the ground.
