The Radishes are Here

April 28, 2009 by Jeanne

It’s official. Today I harvested our first-ever-crop! Ta-da! 100% organic, with some insect bites out of the leaves to prove it.

I planted the radish seeds on March 23. At the left are the red globe radishes called “Cherry Bomb.” On the right, the elongated white and red radishes are a variety called “French Breakfast” radishes.

Here ya go. Please pass the salt. Dig in!

    Gotta love the first harvest of the season. I don’t even like radishes but I grow them so I can harvest them early. I donate them to some friends who’s children like them. Crazy.
