Extra info: Worry Radish was purchased by me in Galway with my girlfriend. He is our adopted son, and he is actually a beetroot. I’m planning on getting him a radish brother in the near future. He’s helped me a lot through college and while he does lose some points for his small size, his ability to travel has been excellent. He’s the perfect purse companion or backpack buddy for around school. He is a part of the jellycat vivacious vegetables line.
