It looks good! I take it that you're a Vegan?
Nice picutures.

We have some radish seeds, from somone whom passed away. My Father cleaned out her home. Found a bag of Fedco seeds. They were mostly radishes. A lot of varieties. The seeds are dated. I will send some to you or anybody that's interested. E-mail me. (Free)

That does look yummy, and I'm not even hungry - we had dinner late.

Congratulations! So, was it as good as it looks? And just how proud are you ;) That's really quite an accomplishment, as chilly as it's been and you're harvesting food.

It is such a co-inidence that you have posted this information today. Last year, I sowed some Asian veggies. and lost them all to the caterpillars of the Cabbage White butterfly (two sowings). I recently read that these vegetbles like the cold weather and decided to winter some baby bok choy (April 6). I was amazed that they germinated and are growing, while it is still going below freezing at night here. I have kept them covered but they just seem to love the cold weather. I have never been able to harvest proper radish in about 12 years of trying. Perhaps I will try winter sowing them this year, and see what happens. I have nothing to loose. Thanks for posting.
