Ravishing Radishes:

I couldn't resist and I harvested one of my radishes today.  It was a nice size and easy to pull out of the ground.  Really big leaves on it.  In a previous post I mentioned that you could eat the radish leaves, but now that I look at them more closely I think, "who would want to??!"  They are kind of fuzzy and prickly, very rough.  I don't think I'd want to eat that in a salad.  So we're not -- I'm going to compost them instead.  On this picture to the left I accidentally cut the leaves off before I took the picture.  So this is my attempt to stage the radish with the leaves.



I cut my single radish up already and we're going to have it on a salad tonight!  I've got about 5 more in the ground still, plus the 16 that are growing in my square foot garden.  I hope they taste good!  Wow, take a look at this link and these pictures of some radishes (http://bettymingliu.com/wp-content/uploads/2011/09/IMG_1843-e1317089350387.jpg)!!  ENORMOUS!!  Mine were tiny compared to these!  Today I sowed some additional lettuce seeds in various nooks and crannies of my garden.  I put lettuce seeds down every few weeks, trying to get a nice rotation together.
