The flower pods are edible and the French Breakfast grow in the shade.Plant in early spring as soon as soil temperatures rise above 40 degrees. Successive plantings every ten days will prolong radish harvest. Radishes prefer loose, light soil, with a fair amount of organic material. Harvest radish when 3 to 4 inches long.
