But space was limited and they all got Darwinian amongst themselves and this guy turned out the victor. I thought he was a goner at one stage as the aphids took a very strong liking to him.
But I like pyrethrum on occasions (when necessary) and the aphids didn't so Ravishing Radish was safe for another day. I thought he would be like my beets and some of the carrots, a good guy for green foliage but less effective in the growing of a root part. He surprised me and it looks like he will be a fair size for such a small pot.
Question is what do I do with him? I am thinking as part of a tuna sashimi platter ... and will the two black radishes I planted in his place thrive?
The daikon leaves are very interesting. Can't wait to see what you do with it.
ReplyDeleteThe leaves are pretty interesting. Much more than regular radishes. I've had braised daikon radishes before and they were pretty good.
ReplyDeleteDan - they were huge! I'll be posting soon about what I did with it, for now I'll just digest the yumminess
ReplyDeleteFern - ooohhh braised sounds interesting. I've only ever had them raw. They are very very soft in flavour
