Get 'em before they freeze
It’s only because I had not been paying close enough attention that I was walking around with the completely mistaken impression that nothing much was happening in the radish patch. From a distance, it looked like all foliage, no radishes. But with a Polar Express bearing down, I was out yesterday pulling anything edible from the garden. And just look at this haul of radishes. I got them just in time, too. Not too much longer and they would have been inedible–too woody. As it is, I’m certain to be eating radishes–lots of radishes–for some time to come.
We are engaging the concerns of a hungry planet--slowly--right here in our kitchen garden in the District of Columbia, about a mile from the White House.
Wow, nice! Great photo too, Ed. Good for a pressed salad … I’m making one today, but my radishes don’t look as nice as those!
Ohh, with such a bounty I would make a root vegetable kimchi (a la Sandor Katz, in Wild Fermentation). I think I like it even better than regular kimchi, and it would keep your harvest for as long as ferments last in your home (not long, for me–I eat them too fast!)
