Cherry Belle
A tier
Cherry Belle is a round, bright scarlet spring radish with white flesh—the default “red radish” of many seed racks and grocery bunches. It matures quickly, stays mild if harvested on time, and packs well. Over-maturity brings heat and spongy centres. Slice into salads, carve roses for garnish, or eat whole with salt. Dependable garden choice for successive sowings. Not a winter storage type.
