I am not a big fan of radishes either. But, I read recently that you can use radishes as a "trap crop" and trick bugs by interplanting radishes with brocolli. Instead of the bugs eating your brocolli, they will eat the radishes instead. A small sacrifice in my opinion.
i love radishes. If they get plenty of water they aren't so hot. I grow big white radishes and pickle them. So wonderful! Slice them up like thin french fries and find a simple sweet pickle recipe made with rice vinegar. They're excellent with Asian foods. Add thin strips of carrots to make it colorful if you like.
I did not know that Radishes had a seed pod. Wow I thought the squierrels transplanted "stealth peas" in my garden. I'll save the seeds and plant them in my sunroom and save them for next year.
Wow what an amazing harvest. I don't like radishes either but I read that if you like horse radish you can substitute hot radishes and process in the blender with mayo for a great pink hot sauce good on any kind of meat.
