The \"Coreless\" (\u003cem\u003eSans Cœur\u003c\/em\u003e) variant is a modern improvement on the traditional line, selected to minimize as far as possible the more fibrous, less sweet central core most carrots carry, until it becomes practically indistinguishable from the surrounding flesh.

The Tall Utah line was selected by the United States Department of Agriculture to combine the generous stalks of Pascal celery — a variety developed in the late 19th century in the Kalamazoo region of Michigan by Dutch-immigrant market gardeners who long dominated American celery cultivation — with improved resistance to several common diseases (heart rot, fusarium, mosaic) and to premature bolting.

A 100-130 day cycle, with mandatory indoor start 10-12 weeks before transplanting, and slow germination (14-21 days) provided you keep the seeds on the surface in the light (they need it to emerge) and constantly moist. Once in the garden, it demands a soil very rich in organic matter, regular and abundant watering — a water shortage, even brief, hardens the stalks and develops a tenacious bitterness — and a cool location.

Direct-sow only (the radish hates being moved), as soon as the soil can be worked in spring (mid-April in Québec) and until late August for staggered sowings. For continuous, always-fresh production, sow a thin row each week or every two weeks rather than all at once — otherwise you end up with 200 radishes ripening together and hardening as they wait to be eaten. Thin imperatively to 3 cm in the row after emergence; without thinning, the roots stay tiny and fibrous. Radish tolerates light part shade in summer (in full sun and high heat, it bolts quickly, going hollow and pungent), making it an excellent crop to slip between others more demanding for space and sun — a small under-cover crop, in tight rows beneath tomatoes or corn.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eOpen-pollinated.
