And it is so easy like you said, to grow them.<br />You should try to eat also the leaves of the radish in your salad, it is really good.Elladahttp://vivresimplementengrece.blogspot.com/noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3840827850297141825.post-69085448435109203722012-05-15T18:50:08.481+01:002012-05-15T18:50:08.481+01:00I love a good radish dipped in melted butter and s...I love a good radish dipped in melted butter and salt. Yum. There are poor unfortunates who don't know one end of the veg garden from the other and probably think that is how you should buy radishes. I am growing multi-coloured ones this year for a change - will be interesting to see how they turn out.elaine https://www.blogger.com/profile/17075935631756457901noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3840827850297141825.post-8014402993959516382012-05-15T18:43:15.941+01:002012-05-15T18:43:15.941+01:00Your radish looks so good!

Actually I was after black berries for breakfast pancakes but eh. Hmm, recall it being a dollar for a bunch.

I called around looking for a variety and one place said they had it. So I went over. They had single seed potatoes all packed up in plastic and sawdust. Already chitted. The package of one cost $5. And you would get one plant out of it. No way would you get enough potatoes back to even pay for the price of that one gold planted seed potato. Last year I bought a whole two pounds of seed potato for less than that price and it filled a whole 4'x 8' bed. The other weird things I see are Asian greens and cilantro being sold. All in flower. You would think the nursery would know enough to take them off the shelves once they bolt. But they never do. I'm sure there are unsuspecting gardeners that would buy them not knowing how the plants grow.Daphne Gouldhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17305049560953735881noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3840827850297141825.post-45722497700459809122012-05-15T12:16:18.753+01:002012-05-15T12:16:18.753+01:00That's shocking!! :O
