He doesn't eat 'em; just calls me to come and get them when they're ready. He grows a few veggies just because they are favorites of the neighbors.

We had several crops of French Breakfast radishes last year and just loved them. They were very tasty and easy to grow. I can't wait for my first crop this year. Good luck with all those.Dianahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08681758051433522246noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8488599.post-43992560782836294432009-03-01T11:06:00.000-05:002009-03-01T11:06:00.000-05:00My black thumb has caused us to have a pretty poor...My black thumb has caused us to have a pretty poor harvest, but it successfully allowed us to grow radishes!!

The label is off from last year's seed packet. I meant to say more about radishes when I put my post up today, but I was in a hurry when writing it, and forgot again. I am one of those "cheaters" who eats my thinnings, so I do have some lettuce before the radishes are ready, but I do have to remember to Corner Gardener Suehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10631500918579405664noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8488599.post-63718053140122818372009-02-28T22:30:00.000-05:002009-02-28T22:30:00.000-05:00Radishes are a staple in my outdoor garden but I s...Radishes are a staple in my outdoor garden but I started growing microgreens for my gardening quick fix.
