Re: "Sprouted radishes"

In: s/farming

I ate radishes for lunch today - they were amazing! I like to cut them up with some salt and olive oil.

It’s true that they do grow fast. Sometimes it’s hard to catch them before the inside gets pithy.

I shall have try that! When I buy them, I usually pickle them, but that seems like a shame for homegrown ones

If you have to thin them, you can use the 'cancelled' plants from the greens to the little red proto-radish as salad greens, or as a slightly spicy addition to a stir-fry, a minute or so before you finish cooking...

I tried that with the first batch I grew, but the greens were very fiborous. Maybe they're only good when the greens are new growth?

I've been sprouting all kinds of seeds and just eating the sprouts! It's amazing how a couple of tablespoons of seeds fills up a jar with deliciouslness in 5 days or so.

Cooking and eating young sprouts is also something I'd like to try more of

Hundred rabbits have a pretty comprehensive guide

Radish grows fast, it's a great crop for beginners, you can plant them almost all year long and they require little care. Plus they contain enzymes that help the body detoxify from toxins.

Sprouted radishes — I planted some radish seeds on sunday, and they've already sprouted! It's just mad how fast some plants grow. Useful though, because I can use them as a way to practice growing a type of plant a few times -- iteratively learning from my mistakes -- in a single growing season.
