I first got onto radish pods when I was raising a small(ish) garden
behind the garage and got called out of town for a couple weeks during
which time the radishes went nuts to the point I was presented with bug
bushy plants containing multiple seed pods when I came home. At that
time I was a regular reader of/subscriber to the original Mother Earth 
News and I had recently (at that time) seen an artile on radish pods.

So, I dug out the issue and gave the techniques/recipes contained a
whirl. Good Stuff, Maynard!

The next year I planted (from those same seed pods an area for eating
radishes and another to let go to seed.  Bv)=
