I ordered large packages last year in hopes of have enough for this year.Our order from True Leaf came in this last week. I was really surprised the number of varieties that they were out of stock on.
We must have been thinking the same thing! We ordered a couple of packages of those black radishes and they are really spicy radishes! Now, we like spicy foods, but these guys were sharp. We did pickle some and that helped to tone down the spice a bit, but I this year we are going back to the old tried and true crimson giants.I ordered large packages last year in hopes of have enough for this year.
True Leaf has great seeds, but I may have went over board on the Black radishes, they are HOT & I can eat them only in small doses.

I have Black, purple, Easter egg mix, watermelon, Radishes patch mix.Have you tried the white ones? Might be my favorite.
I planted the party mix which is probably akin to the Easter egg mix, but it was too late in the season so they immediately bolted. Will try again this year but earlier. I did better last year at planting a small row every-other weekend so we always had some rather than a bunch at once.I have Black, purple, Easter egg mix, watermelon, Radishes patch mix.
I do not have icicle, but they are next on my order list.
I have not pickle any radishes, but I may this year.
That's good to know! We've only tunneled them over with straw and plastic and had alright results. How deep do you bury them?I mentioned in another thread about storing cabbage buried up side down.
I dug one today and still just as fresh and crisp as the day I buried it.
I do have to remove a few leaves. About 4.
Soon to be 5 months of storage.
Have you tried cutting them up and frying them in butter? Cooking them usually takes all of the spiciness out of them.I ordered large packages last year in hopes of have enough for this year.

No not yet, I always eaten radishes raw, even knowing Asians eat radishes every way they can think of.Have you tried cutting them up and frying them in butter? Cooking them usually takes all of the spiciness out of them.
They are used in keto recipes and diets. People use cooked radishes instead of potatoes in potato salad. I have had cooked radishes, and I liked them. Radishes grow so fast and would be a great thing to have lots of seeds for in a SHTF situation for growing food quickly.No not yet, I always eaten radishes raw, even knowing Asians eat radishes every way they can think of.
YESAre those radishes?

-22What was your lowest temperature outside the hoop house, so far?
I believe I have seeds for those. I only grew one because the spacing limited me to only per 4x4 foot garden box.YES

90 days. No other vegetable stirred my childhood imaginations like the “Giant Radish” of Japan. It was grown on the Island of Sakurajima since around 1800, and is still famous in South Japan for its fine flavor and mammoth size. Some specimens have reached 100 lbs! But it commonly grows to 15 pounds in its native land. It is started around the first of September and harvested in mid-winter. Fine texture and size make this the “King of Daikons”

I am generally pretty good at were I put things but my seeds have a basket at the top of the non-frost free freezer in alphabetical order.Today ... organized them in zip loc bags and then stored them in plastic containers, then stored the containers in a cool place..... It's amazing how after 6 months I had the hardest time finding that cool dry place again It only took me 3 hours looking before I realized that they were under my indoor carrot shelf....
I found that a dog (or something similar) has dug up my shallots, not happy. I suspect that it is the same animal who's owner lets run wild early in the mornings... I have seen it half a block away at 05:30 several times now. I don't blame the dog, it's the owner who needs the lesson. I have though about using ground pepper but then I got the idea to use powdered Ritz clothing die... I am thinking black or orange would make nice tracks in carpet.. I need to make sure that it will not hurt the dog before I do anything rash...
Today, I picked the first flower out of the flower bed for the wife... it was cute and yellow but the wind blew it over right after it opened..
I also found a on my desk and moved her to the greenhouse..
