the radishes are ready

After 6 days of rain, the garden and yard are pretty water-logged. But as soon as I got home from work, the most wonderful thing happened… the sun came out! Yeah! Hello, sun! Oh, how we have missed you. Actually, let me clarify: I have been very thankful for the rain because that means I do not have to water the lawn we are trying to grow. But seeing the sun again was quite wonderful after so many days.

I puttered around the garden and realized that the radishes are ready!

I see you!

So I picked!

First 2011 garden radish

This radish is an organic french breakfast variety. It was one of the first seeds I put into the garden back in early March. And finally, the radishes are ready for consumption! I cut this first radish in half, splitting it up between me and Craig. I sprinkled my half with a little sea salt and popped it in my mouth. It tasted fresh and tangy and blissful.

More radishes to come! Perfect for salads. I cannot wait!
