Microharvest
I had another nice microharvest today: four daikon radishes. Pictures will follow. The largest was over 30 cm long, and had a circumference larger than my wrist! I know they can get to almost 50 kg, but this is still much larger than I had expected for my little garden patch. From the four daikon I composted more than 2 kilos of foliage! The plants were massive, and I realized I planted them much to closely, as the greens splay out in all directions.
As soon as I have a harvest, I start looking for people to give it to. I enjoy eating it, but love the look on recipients’ faces even more when I hand them home-grown produce. I gave three of the four away; I’ll keep one for misoshiru. I need to pick up some bonito to make dashi. I’m trying to decide which of my misos to use (store-bought, I don’t make my own.) My stomach’s rumbling.
