1st crop of radishes

[axj]

does anyone know if raddish leaves can be used in salad? It seems such a waste to chuck the leaves in the bin, but you know how it is with plants some bits are great, other's give you the mexican quick step... any offers?

I grew radishes in pots last year and used the leaves chopped in with mixed salad leaves. They were lovely - nice and peppery

The slugs are enjoying my radishes already with a side salad of oriental leaves

If they are kind enough to leave me any, I hope to be munching on them in about three weeks. The coolish April hasn't helped my first sowing.

However I still have leeks (pulled the last three today), perpetual spinach (although it is desparate to bolt) and some four foot tall kale (which is now becoming covered in white fly).

We had lettuce, along with baby spinach leaves and watercress from the greenhouse in our salad yesterday.

I've had one crop of lettuce (about 150) and second crop is in the tunnel growing nicely, both in their own section, intercropped with Minicole cabbage, and another row down the centre of each of my 3 rows of French Bean canes
I have also harvested considerable quantities of both parsley and chives, but no other crops from this years sowings as yet.

Bad luck Barley, I'm just hoping no slugs have been imported with my less than sterile horse manure!! Mt first crop of radishes has all been eaten. Left a couple in for educational purposes, i.e. the kids want to see if they have a flower, go to seed etc. OMG the size of one radish which is showing it's top is about 2 1/2 inches across, "James and the Giant Raddish" does not quite have the same ring to it, but compared to some of the pencil thin manure victims it is humongous. I am sure it would be horrible to eat, anyone know how big your standard classic red and white radish grows to if left to it's own devices?
