radish time


As radishes like cool weather, spring and fall are the best times to grow them. They grow so fast that before you know it you have a nice crop. Radish leaves are also edible with a high Carotene content and good source of Vitamin A. I have been exploring with the leaves by adding to salads but Grandma has a better idea, she blended radish top and bottoms, some lettuce and some water in the blender for lunch. Sounds delicious to me. And don't forget to wash the plants thoroughly as they tend to be sandy! (and crunchy ;)
