My white radishes have grown well after thinning out small sprouts.
White radishes is a must in winter dishes in Japan and we enjoy white radish boiled in fish broth with other vegetables.
White radish is easy for novice gardeners to raise, I believe.
My daughter is also looking forward to harvesting them.

You are teaching your children well. I have now retired but I was a teacher and we had a vegetable garden at school. The children loved it and learned a lot.

I'm very happy to see my kids are interested in growth of vegetables. They can see how vegetables not only as plants but as their food grow and their experiences in my garden let my kids think of importance of food which they eat everyday.
Takaeko; does White Radish grow well in Winter conditions? I often have space in my raised beds that could be filled during Winter.

I don't know the weather in Fleet,UK well but if the current temperature is about 15C high during daytime, white radish can germinate, I think.
After seeding them I recommend you cover them with fabric sheets to keep temperature warm. I know the winter in UK is severely cold.
How about onions? I'm gonna plant them in my garden next weekend. They will grow well even in winter.
We are going to have a cold winter in Osaka in a few mouths as well as you in UK...
I have never grown winter radishes. I normally grow some of the little red-coloured ones in summer as a quick crop in between other crops. I would like to grow some Winter radishes, but you have to sow them in July / August, when all my raised beds are full , so I never find the space. Do you think they would grow OK in a large pot?

White radishes can grow in a large pot, I believe .
The white radishes I planted are long-root white radishes which are called "Japanese radish" or "Daikon radish". They have to be planted in soil bed because enough depth is need for growth of their roots.
