Dr. Bashioum’s Garden: Radishes
May 30th, 2014
The garden is finally starting to show some signs of life after an especially cold and rainy spring. A small early rhubarb harvest was followed by these French radishes today. It looks like all the plants that I started inside from seeds have finally taken hold in my outside garden beds now. Minnesota gardeners know the mantra, “Hurry up and grow before the frost in a couple of months!” Although the upper Midwest has a short summer, the days are long and we can usually manage to make our efforts worthwhile. I take great pleasure in sharing freshly harvested fruits and vegetables with family and friends.

While I’m waiting for the threat of frost to disappear here in the Minneapolis, I’ve started some unusual seedlings inside to add to my garden this season. I’m doing some custom growing for friend and award-winning Billylly at Sushi Fix, in Wayzata. Besides 2 kinds of Asian shiso leaf again, we are trying heirloom seeds for a Japanese variety shishito peppers and Peruvian hot lemon drop peppers. I guess this year makes my unique garden a cultural culinary melting pot! To watch a short documentary film about Billy Enkhbilgee Tserenbat ‘s journey to become a sushi chef, click here.
