Winter Garden- Black Spanish Radishes

Here is another great winter vegetable, the Black Spanish Radish.   Unlike the long oval purple-topped Italian turnips, freezing weather doesn't seem to cause damage to the flesh of these radishes, which have very dense flesh that cooks up firm but with a nice taste.

This radish has made it onto my permanent winter sowing list.  Winter is half over!  Soon I will be harvesting greens from turnips, radishes, chicory, and possibly cabbage and brussels sprouts.
