Radishes
This year in my particularly untidt winter garden I grew a few different varieties of radishes. I love butter and radish sandwiches so I always have a supply of the red roots during the winter. I grew 'cherry belle', 'white icicle' and 'french breakfast'. My garden was very weedy and infertile. The weather grew unseasonably warm recently, so some of the radishes began to bolt/flower. When radishes flower the roots can tunr woody or extremely spicy. For me, the 'french breakfast' variety was the best for competition with weeds and was slowest to bolt. It has a great flavor and looks pretty too. The other varieties did ok but this one stands out!
