Popped to the plot tonite for an hours weeding, and I just couldn't help myself! Look what I came home with.....

I know the radish are rather large, I thought they would be like wood to eat, but they are soooooooo juicy and hothothot! My first ever kohl rabi - I have purple ones on the plot also but they are a little behind the green ones, an onion, just because....and a few broadies, loads still coming.
;D ;D ;D ;D ;D ;D ;D ;D ;D ;D ;D
Clever girl!
We have 'mixed radishes' this year, & we're preferring the 'french breakfast' type. = Tim
Well done EJ ! It makes all the hard work worth while and your children are eating chemical free produce.
My radishes are crap ???
I put some French Breakfast III in with the parsnips. Pretty good -maybe too good the slugs have been gnawing them.
Jeremy
Good one EJ :D
They look good.
Oh well done E.J. they look great - bet you'll be nipping up there every evening now!!....you wont be able to keep up with it! ;)
Nothing tastes quite so good as fresh, home grown produce does it?
A lovely selection there EJ.
Eileen.
Great veggies EJ - so satisfying when you grow your own. Never tried kohl rabi (showing my ignorance) what exactly do you do with it ??? ;)
Wellllllllllllllllllll.......I looked online and it said use it like a spud, mash it, chip it, roast it or grate it raw into salads! As that was the first, and as Ava isn't really into veggies like me, I mashed it with lots of pepper and butter, and rather yummy it was too! ;D They are beautiful looking plants also.
Well there you go EJ, I learn something every day :D Sounds great, will give it a go - thanks :)
Grated raw? Soups & stews? Leaves are good? = Tim
Always used mine grated raw, hardly ever cook it! (raw grated beetroot is very good too!)
Oh Doris, thanks for that - I love beetroot cooked or pickled but have never thought of raw grated. will certainly give that a go.
Haven't tried kohl rabi either EJ but you make it sound tempting.
Hi e.j, i also harvest my first kohlrabi and yes raw into a salad with my first great lake<iceberg lettuce>,some russian kale leaves,some mint afew tomatoes,cucumber slices,first harvest beetroot and two boiled eggs,dressed nicely just magnificent life good be great.By the way spring onions ???
