Suprise, suprise

Found at the bottom of the garden with the old saying “How the hell did that get there and what is it?”. We had no idea until we took a picture and fed it in plant.id and the result was Raphanus raphanistrum, “You what?” you ask. It’s more commingly also known as wild radish. We’ve no idea how it got there but it’s staying!

Did you know the pods are edible? Thanks to www.thekitchn.com

“Wild radish pods are crisp and peppery, much like the root of a true radish, and can be eaten raw or cooked. Young, tender pods are the most delicious and can be easily harvested by running your hand up the stalk to release a handful of pods.”
