This week the radishes arrived in my garden. Checked on them every day to see if they were ready and within one day they popped. Radishes are a cold weather vegetable, which means I was able to plant the seeds 5 weeks ago when it was still quite cold in New Jersey. Now I must harvest two rows and plan some delicious recipes. I'm planning to roast some for a side dish and then pickle a bunch to use as an appetizer, and of course use them in salads. Recipes will follow.
Back in March I ordered my plants on-line from The Tasteful Garden in Alabama. The 17 healthy plants arrived about a week ago, but had to be kept warm in the garage because the temperature went down to 37 degrees at night last week. A friend of mine has ordered from this company before and has been very pleased. Heirloom tomatoes were a large part of the order, and my favorite tomato name was the "Mortgage Lifter". So this weekend the weather finally cooperated and I've been busy planting the garden.
We love our gardens. Have fun. My radishes are almost ready.......
