Today's harvest


I'm very happy to harvest a white radish with straight and thick root for the first time. Since I picked up a split-root radish as I mentioned on the last blog I wonder if most of my white radish were deformed.

The two-legged one looks a bit rude! - But the other one seems perfect. I don't know if white radish is like carrots in this respect, but carrots often go "forked" if you givethem too much manure or fertiliser.

Looks very nice. I want to try radishes again this year. I have trouble with root crops because the soil is so poor here even with all my composting.

My favourite veggie! Will make soup or just blanche it and eat like a snack without any seasoning (my diet food!).Im trying to grow them next year.

Yes! Steamboat dishs or nabe dishes are very popular in Japan especially in winter. Daiko radishes will take an important role in the dishes.

Well, the cause of deformation is still unclear but in my case I would have to cultivate planting bed of the daikons much deeper making much space for the roots, I think.

As I mentioned above to Mark, if you want to plant daikons next, I recommend you cultivate soil deeper and give them balanced nutrition. I also try daikons next season so I hope we can exchange ideas !

Yeah! No Japanese people decline Oden in winter, I believe!
Daikons which have absorb much soup when well-boiled is fantastic!

Your daikon diet food sounds interesting! I wish to let me know how you make it!
My wife will get curious about it!
