I've discussed before, I have bad luck raising radishes. Take forever to reach harvest size, if they do reach harvest size. Thin, spindly roots with the "bulb region" of the root forced far out of the ground. Every year I say never again. And yet again I try.
But this year I finally have a harvestable crop! A very bountiful, boisterous crop!
In fact, they have gotten away from me a little bit.
We've had a lot of rain the last few weeks. That, combined with timely fertilizer and some aggressive thinning of the sprouts, is what led to this bumper crop. Amazingly, the globes are still tender and not too spicy. I've had a few start to split (thanks to all the rain) but the chickens were happy to take those off my hands.
Yesterday I took a big bag of radishes to work. There is no way I can eat all of these by myself.
I still have about four times that amount in the garden.
So besides raw with salt, sliced on salad or in coleslaw, anyone have suggestions on what to do with all these radishes???
