Thanks for the timing info, sockmonkey. I guess that means I need to get into gear and do some soil prep for the onions that just came in!

Are those radishes like the daikon radishes? I LOVE daikon! RECIPE ALERT: I like to cut it up into about two inch sections, peel it, and then make large matchsticks. They are wonderful as raw veggies with dip. THey are also very good grated and steamed. Leftovers go well into a veggie soup.

I have the daikon seeds, but have not had the courage to try planting them yet. Please keep us informed on your minowase.

Yes, Minowase are a type of Daikon. Saw this little blurb on google search:

A staple of Japanese and Korean cuisine, daikon radishes are unbelievably fast- growing—even in the cool, shortening days of fall,..

We purchased daikon seeds (because all others were sold out). I'm happy to hear they are tasty; our seeds were planted some seven days ago, and are peaking out of the soil.... They look healthy but I'm wondering if we dug deeply enough for their fruit. We'll see... :)

And thank you for the recipe!!
