Lovely Watermelon Radish

Do you already have spring fever? I do, and I want to plant seeds. I bought some on impulse because the photo on the seed packet was so beguiling.
Do you ever buy seeds because the packet photo grabs your attention?
Watermelon radishes are fabulous looking, pink interiors, white exteriors with pale green shoulders. Yes, watermelons! They look like watermelons when sliced, which is so pretty and colorful and unexpected that it makes me smile.
They are round, large (3 inches round) and said to be sweet.
I bought a pack from Lake Valley Seed and aim to plant them soon. This pack is nonGMO. It is about 65 degrees here and they like cool weather.
They are new to me. Aren't they cute?
