Red Hot Veggies!

All our hard work has been worth it! Red Hot Veggies is in business!
I just picked our first true harvest of French Breakfast Radishes with my boys. This is our favorite variety. They are more mild than the ones you get in the store and I think they are prettier. :)
The best part of the entire picking was my boy's oohhs and ahhhss when they pulled out a big radish. We cleaned them and put them in bunches along with bagging arugula and spinach.
So 20 bunches of radishes, arugula, and spinach are now ready to sell.
All this done with 20 lb baby on my back or one handed when she felt like she wanted to be in on the fun. :)

I am finally doing something I believe in and love!

Want to try something new? Radish appetizer. Fresh radishes, herb butter (or regular), sea or kosher salt.
Arrange radishes on plate with butter and salt in ramekins. Sounds boring....It is sooo not!

About Me

My photo
South Central, Alaska, United States
Love, joy, procrastination, and frustration of a Urban Alaskan Gardener Cook and most importantly Mother of three.... It might not always be pretty but I wouldn't trade it for anything! Life long Alaskan who really does not enjoy the ever so long winters. However, I live for my summers. My body decides that when the light comes (and let me tell you we get a lot), sleep no more, have time to make up for. I enjoy cooking/baking/decorating but my passion is gardening. I always set out for things to be perfect but usually settle for a lot less because frankly I don't have the time or patience (3 children under the age of 5 need I say more...oh yeah...and a husband:) So to sum me up I'm an introverted, detail oriented, procrastinator that hates to be late for anything and rarey finishes a project. I love my family and friends and throughly enjoy being able to take care of my children and watch them grow everyday!
