I was so excited to pull out a few radishes from my side garden for my husband's salad tonight.
I learned the hard way that they are all water and lose their firmness very quickly if you leave them outside like trophies to show off later...(not that I ever did that).
This time I cleaned them up and placed them in a pretty jar to store in the fridge till he gets home.
Don't they make a pretty bouquet?
It seems kind of silly to get so excited over a few radishes...especially after I saw the beauties my good friend Elaine's daughter grew...and she's only three.
Oh well, I need to take my successes where I can find them.

I love radishes, my favorites are french breakfast, and these almost look like a bunch of cherries in the jar. How pretty:>)
ReplyDeleteThat's a great bouquet! I think I might go buy some just to have a pretty bouquet like that. Very nice!
ReplyDeletegorgeous bouquet. so practical. (:
ReplyDeleteI can't wait to get our veggies planted but it won't be much before the first part of May!!
ReplyDeleteThe radishes are so pretty!!
Have a Wonderful Day!!

Delightful idea . . . the color red, with some white, pretty leaf . . . who could ask for more . . .
ReplyDeleteOh Patty, you are not going to believe this one......I was watering the garden last night, and I thinned the radishes out and cleaned off the sprouts to bring in for a salad. I completely forgot about them until this moment reading your blog!! They are still sitting on my yellow wicker chair, I'll bet, right there in the garden!!!
ReplyDeleteYours are so pretty!!!
I'll have to remember this when my radishes are ready... very cute and useful!

Your too funny. Quinn is my daughter after all. Ha-ha. They look so pretty in your jar. I just trim the tops and roots and put in water and the chickens love the tops.
ReplyDeleteDon't they look all fresh and pretty in a jar? They do get droopy rather quickly once they are out of the ground, don't they? Lovely- xo Diana
ReplyDeleteAm I the only person who never thought of storing radishes in water? Duh! I can't wait until it's warm enough to get the garden in here! ~ Maureen
ReplyDeleteThat is so pretty!
ReplyDeleteHow pretty!
ReplyDeleteI never would have thought to put them in a jar.

ReplyDeleteHey, your radishes are gorgeous! That's one veggie I've never grown, so I can admire yours. :-)
ReplyDeleteMy husband loves radishes. Next time we pick i will place them in water to last longer. He'll love the idea. Thanks.
