Radishes

These are the final harvest of the late spring radishes. 'English Breakfast' is long with white bottoms and 'Sparkler' is the red, round one with white tips. Both mature in 25 days and are slightly "hot" in taste and very crunchy in texture. I love them at breakfast together with feta cheese and parsley next to scrambled eggs. Yum. Since my gardening space is limited to containers on the rooftop, I grew the radishes in the same container along with two tomato plants. There was enough room to sow the radish seeds between the tomatoes, (at opposite ends of the long container) and have a harvestable crop before the tomato plants grew too big. I don't grow rads in the summer, they like cool weather. I'll grow them again in late August in the same container. All I'll have to do is remove some bottom branches off the tomato plants, (they won't need them then anyway) and sow the radish seeds. That's interplanting at its finest.
