First (little) Harvest of the Year!!

While I was out weeding I noticed that my radish plants had really started to take off with their greens. I know it's been close to a month since they sprouted and they are supposed to officially take 30 days to reach maturity. I pulled one up just to see where we are in the development and guess what!

Easter Egg Radish

Yes indeed! That right there is a radish. A bit small yet so the rest of them probably have another 5 or so days to reach full maturity but I am excited. And let me tell you, the flavor! Wow! Unlike any radish I've ever eaten. I bit into it expecting that familiar spicy bite but no. It was tender, soft and almost buttery. I ate the leaves as well (they are very edible) and those had some of that spicy bite you think of when you hear radish.  I obviously am beyond excited. More of this to come soon!!!
