Easter Egg II radishes excel in fresh applications where their colorful appearance can shine.

They make stunning open-faced sandwiches on whole grain bread with sweet butter, where the colorful rounds create an eye-catching presentation.

Direct sow Easter Egg II radishes in spring through early summer, then again from mid-August through mid-September for fall crops. Three grams of seed will sow 7 to 8 row feet, making small successive plantings economical for continuous harvests.
Harvest Easter Egg II radishes when roots reach the size of large marbles, typically around 30 days from sowing. Pull them while still young and before any splitting occurs, as roots left too long in the ground develop strong flavors and fibrous textures. If unexpected hot weather arrives, immediately pull all remaining radishes, remove the tops, and refrigerate to preserve quality and prevent the roots from becoming overly spicy.
