Well, these look like this probably due to a combination of things: weather, my abilities and the variety. Usually Japanese daikon is on the skinner side. I don't use any industrial fertilizers. All my veggies are fed with organic fish 'sauce' or other organic fertilizer. #growyourown
Thank you for your scientific knowledge. You seem like a senior product presenter and are very detailed in introducing the items. I look forward to meeting you!
I missed planting time for daikon and now I'm missing the daikon. So tasty. BUT we did finally harvest our celeraic (celery root) and still have some beets in the ground.
Beets seem to alternate years for good crops for us. During a good year I'll can ~30-40 quarts of pickled beets. During a down year <10. Ours are small and not great this year either. The good years tide us over.
Husband is in the kitchen making soup as we speak! It's also good chopped raw into salads. Tastes like a mild celery, without the strings. The leaves can also be used in cooking to give a slight celery flavor.
We are in zone 7a and bulbs come back every year. This year our saffron harvest was sparse because of the drought and we are not set up to irrigate. We usually get plenty of rain.
Find a reputable supplier (I like Renee's Garden Seeds because I've had the best success with their bulbs. Like daffs and tulips, you can order any time, they will be shipped when ready to plant. Plus the blooms are a cheerful reminder that spring will come.
