I had no idea there was such a thing?! How do you know what you have? Yes, they are watermelon radishes. Hmmmm. Wish I hadn't planted a huge swath of them. Still have seed left though.

Re: What are you eating from your garden today?
It's certainly not widespread information. Here's one mention:Scorpio Rising wrote:BeetlesPerSqFt wrote:Isn't Chinese Red Meat (CRM) one of the 'fall radishes'?

They call them winter whereas I said fall, oops.
Figuring out which radishes were better for spring and which for fall/winter required looking at the catalogs (online or print) and even then, I couldn't figure them all out. Generally (but with exceptions) the date to maturity was a good clue -- spring radishes listed around 30 days, and the fall/winter ones listed around 50-60 days.
Maybe you could leave a part of your huge swath and see if you can get them to go to seed? They really are nifty radishes. My former CSA had them as part of the share for a year or two, though I preferred them cooked over raw. (Oddly, I like horseradish, but radish bite -- not so much.)

Re: What are you eating from your garden today?
Thanks for the info! Baker's has beautiful packaging, but sometimes the growing info is a bit sketchy on the packages. I will give them another try this fall, I get it about the bite, I love horseradish too, but sometimes the heat from a hot radish is just yucky! One is OK, but not the whole bunch!

Re: What are you eating from your garden today?
I agree on Baker's seed packets - pretty, but I'd love more growing information. Their print catalog has a blurb about why they don't always include days to maturity or growing zones because they aren't precise... but, nonetheless, I found myself going elsewhere on the web for variety info so I could at least get a rough idea of whether something was great for my location, borderline depending on when I started indoors, or just no way.Scorpio Rising wrote:Thanks for the info!

Re: What are you eating from your garden today?
Hello All! I picked our first Summer veggies yesterday, 3 yellow squash, 2 cucumbers, and 1 jalapeno. I also picked some cilantro for our tacos and nachos dinner. Nothing beats fresh herbs when cooking! Tomatoes are a few weeks from being ready and we can't wait.

Re: What are you eating from your garden today?
Finally, I'm eating from the garden!
Wednesday - Parsley, chives, salad burnet, and mint (not grown in the garden) for tabouli
Thursday - lettuce, arugulas, lamb's quarters, and two radishes (Leda and Pink Summercicle) for salad
(and a salad dressing made of dehydrated cherry tomatoes from last year ...or maybe I recreated tomato sauce...)
Friday - spinach, lamb's quarters, beet greens, 1 collard leaf, 2 kale little leaves, parsley, a few small mustard leaves, and a few radish leaves -- to cook up to go with eggs

Re: What are you eating from your garden today?
Today we had minced meat with thick gravy & baked potatoes with our own ANSFG perennial Kale .. It's the only veg left in the garden from last year save for some new season Asparagus which this year ( fourth year grown from seed ) has finally started to produce a few spears .
We sampled three each ( 9 in total ) and very nice they were with lashings of best butter .
We have two promising spring cabbages that I have my eye on , but I can't harvest them for anther six days because I had to spray them with a green fly & cabbage white butterfly caterpillars treatment .

Re: What are you eating from your garden today?
Plantoid, Did you use BT? Are you letting them grow more so the sprayed leaves can be removed at harvest?
Re: What are you eating from your garden today?
Perfect cucumber (Muncher or Pickling), skin and all. First produce of the year. Plus a little bit of over-wintered yellow Swiss chard. I miss the winter greens.
Re: What are you eating from your garden today?
My photo looks just like Beetles!
Chard and spinach are under the collards, lettuce, kale and chives.

Re: What are you eating from your garden today?
My second perfect cucumber - Pickling. That first one was a Muncher. I'm so glad I changed from the varieties that were hit and miss with bitterness.
Re: What are you eating from your garden today?
Salad greens; including a variety of lettuces, spinach, chard and a few kale leaves and the first 'Early Scarlet Globe' radishes.

Re: What are you eating from your garden today?
I'm loving these fresh salads too! Your radishes are beautiful! Mine are so tiny. I have to pull them too soon because something keeps eating them. Slugs I think.

Re: What are you eating from your garden today?
Thank you CC. They are still very mild right now. My daughter said she like to fry radishes I need to get her recipe and give it a try. She is an excellent cook so I bet she will make it good. The bok choy is bolting and the spinach is just about there as well so tons of salads the next few days.
