Radish trial | BBC Beechgrove Garden
George and Carole then moved outside to the raised beds where they looked at the early seed trials of vegetables, and compared a crop of radishes that had been given an Award of Garden Merit by the RHS to those that had no award.
Radish ‘Scarlet Globe’ (AGM) had produced a consistent sized crop and had a really good taste. Those that had been growing at George’s allotment in Edinburgh were further on than those that had been grown at Beechgrove.
Radish ‘Prinz Rotin’ (non-AGM) had produced a couple of malformed radishes and also some had split; they were also larger in size and therefore a bit woody. So the AGM variety are the clear winner here.
