Hey, I've that one in my quotes file also! I like it.

He posts on tx.guns. He's a TABC academy instructor in my area. :-)
One of the smartest and most savvy cops I've ever known.

I can't recall the thread he said that in, (probably the one where I was
considering cetaceans as sentient) but it IS a great statement. g


Had the season's first radish and bread and butter sammy!!!

French Breakfast Raddies.

I put the tops on it also and it was......Yummo! ;-)

This is the first year I have ever eaten tops. I need to thin them and
am going to follow your suggestion of litely steaming them, tops and
bottoms.

I generally eat radishes as a cooked veggie. I always rinse and use the
greens. ;-d

???? I wonder where in the hell I got that quote??? I don't hang out
there and I thought I usually got deadpersons quotes! ;-) Maybe from
survivalacres.......who knows.......my brain is like a sieve.

I've used it as a -sig before. I tend to rotate them.
He gave me permission to use it as such.
I'm sure he'd feel honored that you kept it. g

All this talk of young radishes & greens is all well & good, but be sure to
leave enough for the best part to stir-fry, the seed pods!

Radish tops can also be used in salads, as I found out last year when
about all there was to my radishes was tops.

I'll be doing that, for sure. Om suggested steaming young radishes and
tops and I am anticipating that. Been reading up on all the leaves that
are edible, and nutritious, and I was amazed to say the least. From
vegetable to tree leaves. Whooda thunk it? ;-)

Catch ya later, my friend...I'm gonna go stretch my back.

"Considering"? They probably think less of us.

I pick just about the size of garden peas. The flavor is that of radish &
the texture of snap peas.

Hmmm...this is new to me. Sounds good...and spicy? I assume you pick
the pods when the seeds are still very immature?

Yep...the humble radish has definitely been taken to higer levels of
culinary delight!

Really??? I've never tried that. Gods knows those plants make a lot of
pods. :-)

What stage do you gather them at?

There are some varieties of radish grown specifically for their pods.

Flame on!

I've considered one of those! Where do you get them?
Are they legal everywhere?

Om, you get them at the hardware store. They're called a "weed burner."
You use propane to fuel them. They're kind of expensive.

We use them for everything but flame killing weeds here...

Mostly the SO uses ours (we have several) to pre-heat our diesel farm
tractors and bulldozers in the winter, so they'll start. It's not a
trick for the faint of heart, as the oil & grease on heavy equipment
will light on fire readily, so you have to be prepared to put the fire
out.

I have used our weed burner to burn the dried weeds/grass off a garden
plot in the spring. Timing is critical -- it's got to be exactly the day
the grass dries out enough to burn, but before the whole neighborhood is
dried-out, so I don't start a forest fire.

We have a big hemp nettle infestation down on the ranch, but I was told
to not flame kill it. It's in the loafing area where our cows hang out
all winter, so the soil is real heavy in organics, which will catch fire
like crazy, once it dries out.

I use a tank sprayer filled with vinegar to spray weeds. It kills
them in about two days. Spray when there is no rain expected for a
few days. Cheap, effective, and biodegradeable.

Anything special about the vinegar?

Maybe the Dept. Of Ag where you live can suggest something resistant to

Local extension office...

Good idea, thanks!

They seem to be delighted to help. They've even mailed me information on
specific plantings when I wanted to do more landscaping with local
plants to conserve on water.

I've put in a few Lantana for a start. I really like their blooms and
leaves.

An old man that lived next door to another neighbor sprayed a shrub on the yard
line that he didn't like. A tree sprayer noticed the damage and asked the
neighbor what happened to the shrub. After being told, he reported it to the
state EPA, who sent someone out to have a stern talk to the old man.
