radish hilds roter heckaarruhm

These are the first babies of the seaaon. Fresh from bluire’s farm, which is fifty meters squared approximately. I planted lots and lots of things in freshly rotovated soil, and it’s been a battle against lots of weeds.

Many crops got pulled up with the weeds, cos, there was such a bed of weed, it was difficult to tell weeds from seedlings. I have it down pat now though, if there is wine in the stem, it’s a weed, if it is all green, it’s something I planted.

The first radish of the season are radish hilds roter neckaaruhm. they are a great success, i have a whole row of them. They taste peppery. On the packet, it says that they are traditionally offered to accompany beer in Northern Europe. It’s strange to taste a real radish, one that is spicy, peppery, previously, I thought that they (radishes) were tasteless.
