I found this radish today while wandering around in the corn field.
It weighs in at 9 pounds, and it broke off at the ground (Lana drove the combine over it) so there’s even more of it still in the ground.
We had radishes in this field last year for a cover crop, and this one is a volunteer that came up from last year’s crop.
Tom took this picture, I’m not sure how he managed it. I haven’t applied any special effects to it, this is how it came off the camera.
Usually when these radishes get this big they’re not good to eat, they get woody and bitter and hot. But this one is tender and mild and quite tasty.
