Title: Radish do taste good
Post by: Mr Smith on May 15, 2008, 12:55:05
I've come home from the lotty with my first radish and some  small lettuce leaves, I have done a Radish taste test compared to some from Tesco and mine do taste better ;)

My daughter said that about our first radish.  She said they have taste lol.

My first year growing crops, she is appreciating it now...she's the only one that eats them :)

The first radishes of the season were consumed with due ceremony and an aperitif last night.  Just the right degree of hotness. Delectable!

can I recommend the Polish "Zlata" radishes from Franchi. They grow so quickly, we're on our third lot.
Like a lot of things from Franchi they're not quite the same colour as on the packet though

I have grown radish in a fish box this year in my garden at home.  We have not officially harvested any yet, though I  pick one everytime I go to the greenhouse ;) ;D ;)
