Bryan, of Food Newsie, left a comment on a recent post offering his extra twine in exchange for some radishes. Sold! I seriously needed twine, and I had a serious surplus of radishes. So we arranged for an exchange of goods at the most recent Food Blogger Happy Hour. Hey, this is DC. Quid pro [...]

How I Learned to Stop Worrying and Love The Radish
Posted in Food, Gardening, tagged radishes on May 6, 2010 | 13 Comments »
I never really liked radishes. So bitter and hot! Yes, even the French Breakfast radishes I planted this year. So why do I plant them at all?
