Harvesting: Harvest when radish is no larger than 1" in diameter. If allowed to grow bigger, Purple Plum will get pithy and hot.
Special Care: Flea beetles leave small holes in the leaves, which can impact the formation of the radish root. If you live in an area where flea beetles are problematic, cover the seeded area with row covers until harvest.
