I am happy you enjoyed the radishes! The plate is quite cute.

To me, the radishes look delicious even with the corky skin!  |

Something I'm wondering about--would it work to grow radishes in an AG seed starter setup? Would that solve the problem of keeping the thickening stems above the grow deck? I'm really tempted to try, given that radishes grow so quickly. I do have a vacant Sprout at the moment, and lots of seeds.  |

I think it would probably work, lynnee. I would pull the sponges up and cover them with something to prevent algae from growing on them.
My only concern would be the 10 watt light, but it's worth a shot.
And if you do it, I will enjoy following!  |

I knew that radish leaves were edible, but I had never tried them. So I saved the leaves when I harvested the radishes.
They surprised me by not shrinking to nothing when cooked like many greens. I sautéed onions, then added the greens, chicken stock, and red pepper flakes.
They were not good.
So I drizzled them with rice vinegar (balsamic would have been better) and it improved the taste enough that I will probably save the leaves the next time I grow radishes.

You are brave Sher. I would never have tried to cook them. |

Given your report, Sher, I think I'll skip the radish greens! Your photo makes them look delicious, though.  |
