Oh yes!


Takes your breath away, doesn't it! It's a daikon - Japanese white radish and not a bad example of the whopping vegetable. They are very tasty and much sought-after by Japanese people travelling through New Zealand.
This one would feed a bus-full! I met this young grower at the Farmers Market at Richmond.
Well done that lad!

I bet he needed the little old woman, AND the little wee boy?, AND the little wee girl, the little old dog, AND the little old cat, AND the little old mouse to get that one out!

You're right Bio - and the thing only came out when it wanted to!
Riverton's rather lovely at this time of year :-)

Shunda - good for you and don't hold back!
I'm planting out red currants that I grew from cuttings, fitting them into the forest amongst the cranberries, grapes, blueberries, rhubarb etc. Perfect day and enjoyable activity.
