Spring fever! The icy cold of this winter seems to be over.
Planted the first of our radishes yesterday afternoon - purple plum and pink beauty. Another 4 weeks and they'll be ready to roast up for dinner. I think I'll let a few of them go to seed so I can use the flowers in spring salads. Radishes only take a few weeks to grow and then just clean them and trim them. Then toss them in olive oil and kosher salt and roast them at 375 degrees until they soften (30-60 minutes depending on their size). Leave a few in the ground and it won't be long before you have radish flowers to top your casseroles or toss in your salads. I planted them in straight rows in between rows of carrots to mark off the carrot beds and get some early food from those beds.

I love to grow and cook with edible flowers! I've been gardening and growing most of my own vegetables and all my own edible flowers for almost 2 decades and still learn something new every day. Archives
