Radish Festival in a Months Time

I am planting a gaggle of radishes Thursday, the first day of Spring. I will plant them in waves to provide a steady crop of radishy goodness.

Here is the rundown of what I will plant:

Pink Beauty Radish: a pastel pink, round radish with delicious uniform roots and medium tops. These pink beauties have a nice, tender, crisp texture and taste. There are whispers that this is an eye-catching, top-quality radish. I cannot wait to taste these in salads or straight from the Earth.

Cherriette Radish: smooth with bright red roots; dense and crisp with a sweet/hot taste.

Easter Egg Mix Radish: a multicolor mix making beautiful bunches with a mix of red, purple and white round radishes. They stay crisp and mild even when large.

Some of last year’s STS-13L radishes:

Also, in other gardening news, well woes really, my jalapeno pepper sproutlings, all five of them, were eaten by a wormy looking caterpillar insect which I dispatched in anger by flushing the bastard down the toilet into the sewer systems beyond my realm.
