I didn't have outstanding success with Jingle Bells last season. It had 
the poorest showing of dozen or so varieties I grew from seed.

It's an excellent radish. Does really well in my hot/humid area (Atlanta, 
zone 7b)

Gourmet Gardener carries a spinach/sorrel "cross" they call "Patience". 
Anybody looking for a heat-tolerant spinach-type green should give it a 
try. I had good luck with it last year as a fall crop. Leaves are tasty 
raw in salads when young.....do well lightly steamed, too. Taste is 
delicate and clean.
