Yep, same as Andy. Salt and lemon juice, in a fresh salad...

Wish I could grow them and carrots reasonably well but here in MA it's hard to grow root crops unless you have a WELL established garden. We have lots of rocks that keep cropping up year after year.

No wonder why the settlers kept moving west, plowing a field (or roto tilling a garden) pretty much sucks around here.

On the up side, we have lot's of rock walls.

Love 'em.

The homegrown radishes a better than store bought. I usually like the French Breakfast variety.

^yep....."bagged" radishes are hit or miss........mostly miss.

Our local market has nice big fresh ones with the roots and leaves still attached.

Re 7 (hey John)

Like I said, no wonder the settlers kept moving west. Gardening here in New England does not make for good root crops.

Oh how I long for the soil of WI. Rich, black and verry little rocks that need harvesting before planting.

P.S. You always have a place to crash at my house so get your arse back out here.

Hey, I live in the little states. CT is not that far away. Give me the word when your visiting your sis and I'll be there.

Patrick's annual is a given for me, haven't seen a posting if he's doing it this year but let's hope so. I'll bring the beef (seafood is yucky).

If so, I hope you can make it.

Regardless, my house is your house. We always have room.

french breakfast radishes are good. Grew a mess of them this spring. Still have some red globes that aren't done yet.

I like them, and once in a while I can sneak one, but like Russ, they don't like me or my alimentary canal

daikon--a big white japanese radish. it is often cooked (loses the bite) and also often pickled in a HUUUUUGE variety of brines.

good stuff!

OK........so less than a week ago I put 72 radish seeds in a seed bed.......already they are an inch in height.

I am going to transplant them soon, but did not want to till any ground this year because of some projects in the works (my entire garden is hanging in pots).

How DEEP does the soil need to be to grow radishes? These are the big red variety.

I was thinking of using a kiddie pool on the front porch but I think that might get vetoed.
