Vegetable Backyard in the City: First Radish

First Radish

This is a heirloom variety called Plum Purple Radish. It's supposed to be bright purple, but mine is more of a pale rose colour (next time I'll take a photo after I wash off the dirt).

Anyway, it tasted good. It wasn't really very "radishy", but it was quite spicy!

Nice! I'm waiting on mine a bit - I want it to have some flesh on it! I got some new radish seeds today: watermelon, white icicle, and miyashige white.
