Mooli?

If you want mooli look for Daikon radish tropicalfruitandveg.com | About Mooli
I think long white icicle radishes are just - longish, white radishes (as opposed to round red radishes!).
Don't know about Hestia

I have grown mooli,once,last year was a no no with the weather,it's taste is a strong peppery radish,with large long roots,bigger than a carrot,and a creamy white,a friend of ours loved it,he was eating it like an apple lol,the foliage is like a carrot,i did some in a stir fry,and some in salad,baisicly,if you like a radish,you will like mooli,and VC is correct about it being just a white common radish,the moole is oriental,you will usually find it within that section of seeds,

Aren't Hestia a dwarf bean? Think I grew them once and wasn't impressed as the crop was low but I don't do dwarfies much as I find that I'm better growing upwards so the extra height of the normal tall varieties is better, especially if you have no space.

I'm more confused now, according to wikipedia, long white icicle is daikon, but mooli is a chinese radish? Either way, I've already bought it so I'm growing it this year

Yes Alison, Hestia is a dwarf runner bean for patio pots. I've had some beans for a couple of years, but when it comes to sowing time, they always get pushed to the back of the pile

What have you bought, Moop?

**Moopmoop** · 03-01-2013, 10:43 PM

I've bought long white icicle radish and runner bean hestia too. I normally grow upward with beans but it's good to experiment isn't it?

See your post about Marshall's seeds then - and page 79 of their catalogue

**Matt94** · 04-01-2013, 10:52 AM

I've grown both - the mooli went to seed and the hestia beans tend to lay on the ground, so they get eaten before you get a chance to pick them. However they maybe better in pots???

I think - and I may well be wrong - that long white icicle are summer radish and mature within a few weeks whilst Mooli are in the ground for much longer and not sown until summer. They're more like a long hot turnip than a radish!!!

**hollychap** · 04-01-2013, 08:07 PM

long white icicle is the radish i grow most of there a summer radish which grows 3 maybe 4 inch long with an exellent nutty flavour . mooli i grew once they will grow to the size of a standard cucumber 12"plus in length you can buy them fresh in most asian supermarkets keep meaning to grow them again will have to locate some seeds

**Moopmoop** · 04-01-2013, 10:16 PM

Ancee - thanks very much, that's very kind of you. I'll have a few seeds please but I don't need many. Are there any seeds you are looking for or should I send you a SAE? I'll PM you my address.
