Would this work on my devastated radish patch now that I

the radishes may recover, but yeah, you can
also replant. they sprout and grow quickly,
just not sure how well they will do in the
very hot weather. pick, 'em as soon as they
get big enough, would be my guess.

the daikons here are already a foot high.
nice tap root. too hot for me to eat now.
i just like the sprouts.

Hot as it is here radishes do not flourish in the hot summer of Houston
area. We're getting some mid-afternoon temps up to 100F, hopefully it
will get hotter in July and I won't be going outside for awhile.

I'm thinking of planting some New Zealand spinach again. It took three
years to get rid of them in Louisiana but the leaves are tasty and they
carry a goodly load of vitamins. Dear wife might try to off me if I do.
