Death to weeds, except purslane, which is yummy!

keep finding other plants to try instead, from
bulk seed, radish, daikon radish, the leaves/sprouts
are good at first too.

Is there a good tasting radish? The ones I get from the
store have zero taste and are only hot.
Look online for heirloom radishes. That's how we got our sweet radishes,
just like the ones we grew fifty years ago. Some how hot radishes became
the standard but we never liked those anyway.



Which ones do you like?

We've grown Long Scarlet and China Rose with good results. A lot of the
hotness of radishes can be caused by letting them get to big. I prefer
them when young and sweet.



Yup. We pick them quite small - little delightful flavor bursts with a
hint of salt sprinkled on or sliced onto buttered bread.
