All radish are related to turnips. Daikon is grated with carrots then marinated in a little sugar and rice vinegar and used as a relish in South Asian cuisines.

Turnips and radishes are both closely related, belonging to the same Brassicaceae family, commonly known as the mustard or cabbage family.

I have my chicken run next to my garden. I plant daikin radishes in late summer and release the chickens on them in the fall. They love them.

Daikon is excellent in stir-fry's, and you can use/eat the leaves too..

Yes!!! Another row by row episode!! Yes make that video travis on that shallot planting!! I’m planting mine this Saturday, I’m in zone 9 south Texas. Already have my Taters cut and callused for this weekend! And Greg you’re right it’s a peaceful time when you sit there and your dog just cutting your taters for planting!

My dad told me stories of being a kid during the Great Depression but when he would plant taters he'd just cut a seed tater into 4s when planting. My favorite side dish was when he'd harvest some red "new" norland taters and then he'd clean them up and scrub off the skin and then he'd steam them and then heat up a cast iron skillet with a little lard and then he'd set the taters into the skillet and let them crisp up turning the taters until they were a nice golden to dark brown,that was some good eatin I'll tell you that.

Full disclosure on the onion seed question....this is my first year growing onions from seed instead of dixondale onion sets. After buying the seeds, and I bought quantities to get discounted per unit prices, I don’t think I’ll be able to compete with dixondale. I achieved 70% germination with Texas legend, less than 70(68%) on Natsugaro bunching onions, and 86% on Warrior bunching onions. I had 75% on tadorna leeks. I think I’ll stick with warrior bunching onions and leeks; I was just disappointed my local feed store didn’t have texas legend sets. I was only able to get 1015s, but they are a similar onion nonetheless. Thanks Greg and Travis!

I'll usually soak the chunks for a while, pour out that water and repeat. The water will be cloudy after that first soaking and will get clearer with each rinse/soak cycle as the starches are pulled out. You won't get that cloudy water in your jars once they are canned either. I've done Red Pontiacs, Red Norland, Adirondack Red, Yukon Gold, Caribe', Elba, King Harry and others. They all do ok, but the Kennebec variety has worked best for us, with Yukon Gold and King Harry probably next best. I'll can Yukon Gold and Kennebec this year. (assuming my crop makes!)
