Anyone know what these are

Post by billnorfolk »

Any one know what these little fellows are ImageImage

Answers on a postcard to yike* No only joking they are Radish seed pods ,delicious in salads, stir fry or raw as they are .Pick them when they are tender and green ,one plant one radish ,but lots of these to one plant ,such a versatile plant and easy to grow ,don't despair if
your radishes have gone to flower wait till the seed pods appear and have a feast )t'

I also thought that they looked just like green chillies. About how long are they? Although I don't grow radish, it would be worth growing a few to try these little pods out.
Interesting!!

About 1 to 2 inch ,tender and juicy .Better to pick before they get to old as can get tough.
