57. Radishes
We planted a ton of radishes in the garden this year just to get something going out there before I could plant the things I really like (cucumbers, tomatoes, peppers). They grew. I had never grown more than 3 or 4 before, in a window box, to show Sophia the miracle of plant life back when I was going to homeschool her. I'm just not a big enough fan of radishes to waste precious garden space on them. But this year I decided, through research and gambling, to plant in succession many things one after another. And so the radishes had a place again. We harvested several times, large bunches. There's still a few out there.
And this salad, until I added a few hothouse tomatoes from the CSA, was all from our garden.

Impressive!
ReplyDeleteI LOVE radishes.
ReplyDeleteAlso if you ever want to get rid of any of your produce or herbs or whatever, we'll take it. We didn't do Fair Shares this year because of the business (wasn't sure financially how it would pan out) and I rarely take the time to actually shop for Pete and I at the TGFM...so...yeah. If you don't want to waste anything we're your people.
Wow! That salad looks great! Makes me wish I had a yard where I could have a garden without a dog destroying it.
