We grew the standard red ones one year and everyone liked them immature more than full grown. The little ones are sweet, not hot. I don’t mind them either way.

Luckily, I don’t have any foods I can’t eat, yet. The major exception being mammalian meat when/if I get bit by a Lonestar tick because I have the Alpha-Gal allergy. I have it mild and figured out I can desensitize myself by eating a little beef to start with and increasing that amount over time. I use beef jerky or deli sliced roast beef to start and within a month, I can eat half a NY Strip which is my normal serving. Gone are the days of a full ribeye. Recently bought a Tri Tip for the first and last time ever.

I’m always thinking about things I might be able to grow and sell some day and thought the long red radish would be great for restaurants due to ease and speed of cutting slices.

I escaped rarseeds.com at less than $10 so I did good. Just got three types of lettuce, Romaine/Iceberg with description and/or reviews claiming heat tolerance. I WILL have lettuce crunch in my salads this year while getting ripe tomatoes. Leaf lettuce alone just doesn’t cut it.

Good to desensitize yourself.

I’m glad it was successful.

I was at the farmer’s market in Concord Sat and someone was selling ostrich. I’ve had it before and you would NOT know it wasn’t beef but it is also OK for people with red meat allergies as it contains no alpha gal.
