I took these photos about a week ago but haven’t got around to posting them yet. Up until this year, the only type of radishes I’ve grown (and my favourite) are French Breakfast – those gorgeous elongated pink bulbs which fade to white around their middle.
This year, I was tempted by a packet of Rainbow radishes and here’s the first harvest. So far we have pulled up pink ones, red ones, purple ones, yellow ones and white ones. They are all very fiery – especially the yellow and white kind. However, they are so pretty I can’t complain.
We have nearly finished with the first lot I planted, and the next lot are nearly mature. Other than herbs and the odd baby leaf, these are the first harvest from our garden.
