[Ag-eq] Munching from the garden

[Fred's smarty pants Fone]

Hotter weather makes for spicier radishes.  U may find that shade can keep them milder.

They just require a bit more water in the heat and you may have to either mulch or brake up the harder soil around them in your hotter months. If you don't want to continue them in your garden, consider planting some in planters or even in a split open bag of potting or top soil.  Radishes are one of the wonder vegetables that as long as they have enough soil, water and sun, they will grow just about anywhere.

>> This year, I'm trying a French Breakfast-type radish.  It's one of the icicle-shaped ones.  I picked the first one today, to put into tonight's salad.  It's supposed to be a mild radish, unless I've left it too long. Mine is long and fat, more like a short carrot than a radish.
