Radish Harvest

These are some of the Daikons we have on the farm. What I saw immediately when I arrived to the farm this morning, was that a lot of them had shot up flowers. Now we do not use any greens or vegetable once it has shot up flowers because sometimes it can change the flavor in a subtle way, but in enough of a way that it changes the chance of consistency. SO, the root vegetables, the radish in this case, that had flowered go to the "family" plot, but the flowers can still be used. The have a very mild flavor, not spicey or bitter at all, I cant even compare them to say a micro radish green because the flavor is not so intense as it is in most micros. These for certain will be logged to go on our fresh summer greens salads. So something came of those radish's going to flower before they could be harvested. And, fortunately, just to note, there were only several dozen at the most that had made it to flower's over the weekend. It's because there has been so much rain, then heat, daily, rotating, all our greens, everything is growing like crazy. And since I am in the classroom on Fridays, by the time I come back on Mondays, last being on the farm Thursdays, a lot can change in those four days. A lot more than I anticipate for sure...
