This headline was a toss-up, among “Radical Radish”, “Ripley’s Radish – Believe it or Not” and “When Radishes Run Wild”. No, this radish isn’t a product of an Alaskan vegetable garden, nor was it grown for competition at the State Fair of Virginia. We simply let it continue growing all summer in the Lewis Ginter Community Kitchen Garden – since April 30. Uprooted today, that’s 148 days in the garden.
We planted a few radishes in our bed of parsnips, as markers for the parsnip rows. Parsnips germinate so slowly, markers of some type are necessary to prevent removal of parsnip seedlings when weeding. This particular radish was a demonstration and will not be donated to FeedMore.
