…so fresh they still have bugs in them!
Ha, sorry to gross you out. How ugly is that thing? Luckily it left no damage after it slithered away, seems like it was just using a nook in the radish as hidey-hole. Don’t blame him.
But yeah, it’s radish season, y’all! (Don’t know why I said y’all…I don’t really say that in real life…it just felt right.)
And life is good. Aren’t they pretty?? I absolutely love the vivid colors of this mix, it’s called “Easter Egg II” from Territorial Seed Company. (They have great quality seeds; I get most of mine from there.)
After a taste test, I found the white ones taste a little earthier than the rest, and the reds and purples are very similar. They’re all good with a little salt and lime juice, though!
I like to push some radish seeds into the soil wherever there is space in March, and two months later when the ‘shoulders’ of the radish are above the soil, we have a mini bounty.
What have you harvested so far?

Mike built those wooden planters about 3 years ago from regular lumber, coated them with a borate solution (which is food-safe) and they’re still going strong!
