The early crops have been in the ground for a while now. I planted Scarlet Early Globe radishes, Rat's Tail Radishes, three types of lettuce, kale, spinach, Atomic Red carrots, Cosmic Purple Carrots, onions, and two types of potatoes. I started lots of peppers, tomatoes, and herbs inside.
Night before last I was desperately trying to get my peppers all planted. I finally talked my little guy into helping me out by pulling up the Early Scarlet Globe Radishes. He took on the task like a champ, but neither of us completed our task before nightfall. Oh well. We gave it our best shot! 😊
I thought, today, I would share with you what I do with my radishes when I pull them from the ground. There may be a better method, but I've never had anyone teach me, so I just figure things out as I go. I am open to the wisdom of others!
The first thing I do with my radishes is rinse my radishes under running water really well. If your radishes are really dirty and you are able, you may want to rinse them outside with a hose. Mine were fairly clean. I love having a wood chip mulch!
Next, I break off the greens and sit them aside in the other sink in cold water until I am done with all the radishes.
The process moves along fairly quickly. Once all the radishes are done, I remove the green stem nub and the root. I don't know why. That's just the way they come in the store, so I figured that was the way they are supposed to be done. 😁
All that is left to do at this point is to let them dry off a bit, put them in zippered bags, and store in the refrigerator until ready to use within a few days.
Hopefully, this helps someone out there!
Until we meet again, may you be blessed!
