Do you ever feel bad about pulling out all of those seedlings from your early crops? I do. I call it environmental guilt. I don’t have critters that will eat them so they generally go to waste.

I noticed how cute the radishes were and the arugula was looking at me, too! Fancy restaurants grow their own and charge mega bucks for a micro-salad. I may have found a calling.

I thought that the arugula and radishes would be tasty on our mashed potatoes for dinner. But, boy were they dirty! I soaked them and rinsed three times.

The radishes were quite spicy! It was a nice surprise biting into them with the green onions and sour cream on the mashed potatoes.

Try it next time! I would also suggest adding them to pasta or sauteed with chicken and a nice garlic sauce.

So, be like the fancy restaurants…use those seedlings in something that needs a little kick. Or make an mega buck micro-salad for absolutely nothing.
