Default Radish and onion review

Hi All,

Review:

Imai Early Yellow Onion:
http://www.kitazawaseed.com/seed_135-96.html

Claim to fame: large onions, over winter.

Three plantings: 1) late fall, 2) early spring, 3) late spring

Zero germination.




Bora King, Hybrid Korean Radish (purple):
http://www.kitazawaseed.com/seed_489-114.html

Big Time, Hybrid Korean Radish (white) (had larger blue seeds ):
http://www.kitazawaseed.com/seed_419-114.html

Claim to fame: LARGE!

Two plantings: 1) early spring, 2) late spring

About one in seven germinated. Only about one is three survived.

Taste: hot and nasty. A tiny bit made my stomach start to hurl.




Vegetable Spaghetti squash:
http://www.kitazawaseed.com/seed_085-187.html

Claim to fame: fun!

Planted early spring
100% germination

Three plants: five medium squash on one; one large on
another; one large on the third.

Comment: takes way to long to ripen and not worth the
effort to grow; small yield
