These two radishes were both grown from seed off of the 'Long
Black Spanish' radishes that I overwintered in a ziplock in the fridge last
winter. The one on the left HAS to be from an intercross with the couple of 'Roseheart'
(green-skinned, pink-fleshed). Since it's supposed to be so nice out today,
we're planning to dig all the rest. I'll be sure to get some more pictures
showing both parent types and the hybrids. There should be quite a few hybrids because when I thinned the row, I tried to save as many of the purple-foliaged ones as I could - see the purple leaf stalk on the hybrid vs. the totally green leaf stalks of the normal 'Long Black Spanish'.
