plum purple radishes from my 2011 archive
June 13, 2011 Radishes continued... It is radish harvest time. They are continuously revealing themselves by pushing their way out of the soil which is their way of saying, "Harvest me." There is something immensely gratifying about pulling up crops. They have been beneath the soil for weeks and it is nice to finally see them. The Swede and I decided to take the radishes home instead of eating them on the spot. He put them in his backpack for the bike ride home. Then he forgot about them. So did I, until a few days later. The radishes survived, and we ate them diced in a potato salad. They were a wonderful addition. Their flavor had mellowed, and they were not as spicy as the first time I had eaten one in the garden. The lettuce in the background is called "Tom Thumb" lettuce. It is a tidy and compact butterhead variety with a mild flavor and a soft crisp texture. The delicate rosettes are easy to grow and are by far the most elegant lettuce heads in the garden. My new favorite. archives: Garden |
