Are you adding a few radish leaves to your salads? Chopped fine they are good.

I'm cooking them down like spinach and vacuum freezing them for winter food.
But I have hundreds of radishes growing again, so I need to pickle them for winter also.

I'm still not getting any female flowers on my zucchini, so I planted
two more to see if they'll produce. That's six zucchini plants. /sigh

/Salute

I will keep an eye out for radish recipes.

Yes the leaves will taste good in the winter.

I was surprised at how well many of the leaves dehydrated taste, even pigweed/amaranth.

On the male squash, there have been a couple people on other groups at yahoo, that have the same problem.

Could be this odd weather that we are having, the hot and then cold and who knows what tomorrow brings.

Keep planting, and praying as tonights storm in Kansas had to mess up many acres of food growth.
