Look! Radishes! They really grew!
So it is finally time to harvest radishes. They're huge! They're the size of what you would buy in the store! Best of all, they're organic! Amazing! Here we've cooked the radishes in two ways, their leaves were tossed into a tasty salad and the radishes themselves baked into flavorful chips!

| Amanda with her Salad |
Amanda here to the right with her salad! Just chop up the leaves into manageable bits and add salt, vinegar, and any herbs and spices as you see fit! Feel free to balance the sharp tang of the leaves with more subtle lettuce or spinach. Maybe add a few bread crumbs and some cheese for extra flavor! Great work Amanda, and we are so proud of making great food from our first ever harvest!

| Lisa Slicing Radishes |
To the right we have Lisa preparing the radishes. They have to be sliced thinly, then added with salt, pepper, and whatever chili sauce you'd like to add that extra kick! Be sure to add some olive oil or butter to the pan to give it some extra flavor and to keep it from sticking. Afterwards, put the radishes at the oven at 150 degrees, and keep it until they are lightly golden and crispy! Careful- they're hot!

| Yum! |
Anyone can do this- not just students at Village school! Just prepare the soil properly, water well, and add the seeds, you too could have organic radishes in your garden in as little is 28 days! If you grow them well enough, they'll even dwarf the kind you get in groceries- for less than half the price! Amazing that the Village School gardening class managed such a great harvest in so little time!It's exciting to see what we'll make next!
