Daikon. A bit past ready actually. Already flowering and the top is getting woody, but the rest still tasty. I will pluck them but leave the biggest ones to go to seed for next year.
They didn't super like it here but worth trying again with seeds from the ones that made it.
Did the same with the sunflowers. All died last year except one that grew huge. We dried its head and stored the seeds. Raised seedlings from those this year and those are all doing well this year (so far).

🥣RADISH GOBBLING😊
It's time once again to eat up Daihōon-ji's (大報恩寺) blessed daikon for another year of protection against sickness and disease.
On December 7th and 8th about 5000 radishes are cooked and 10,000 meals consumed during the 'Radish Boiling Festival' (大根焚 'Daikon-daki'). -
#FoodOnFriday How to slice daikon verrrrry thin. #EastCoastKin #Japan #Daikon #Chef #HumansOfBluesky #Scape #SensoryArt #Knowledge

@paparatti It's good eating immediately. It's better waiting a day. 🙂

Dressing is added last: 4T of rice vinegar, 2T of sugar, 1T of water, a few grains of dashi (Japanese fish stock), and a few drops of shoyu. Now we wait. 3/3

OK, here we go: this cucumber is as ready as it's going to get. I love how the sliced cucumbers look like little flower petals. 🙂 Everything gets salted, squeezed, combined, and then thoroughly squeezed again. Three kinds of sesame seed are added at the very end.
The garden carrots never germinated, so this is is a store bought carrot. The cucumbers, daikon, and hakurei turnips are all from my garden; that's never been possible before this summer. 2/3

It's been a highly unusual year: this is the first I've been able to grow hakurei or daikon in the summer. They are quick growing spring/fall vegetables, and In all prior years they died from the heat shortly after germination. I'm hopeful now that I can make tsukemono using entirely veggies from the garden. 1/3

Uhhh, I went away and the daikon lept from the earth. With its friends. Anyone got a good recipie for a lot of daikon. I usually pick them small for stirfry, but a lot go to waste. Not a fan of them roasted.
Potentially thinking if I made a decent fermentation I could trade some with the local homegrown food exchange.

Spring Luxury
This is what a #spring luxury looks like. A combo of nature's gifts in a serving in #pasta.Sauge and cabbage sauted with #Japanese #dashi, #fuki shoots and #wasabi-na shoots boiled placed on top, now-rarely-found grandma's #umeboshi pickle atop.
In case one may thirst for tongue-tingling punchy spice, #homegrown peppers side-dished.
#Fuki-no-tō is bitter and removes "poison," #wasabi-na tastes like #wasabi, akin to #daikon and #karashi-na.
Nothing like spring luxury. -
I woke up 2 hours early & made a new jar of #pickled #carrots & #daikon.
Excellent to add to our homemade Vietnamese style dishes 🙂#AsianMastodon #AsianFood #fermenting #pickling #FoodPreservation

Considered a charm against evil (悪魔除けの大根), it made sense that these radishes would also help alleviate illnesses & diseases when consumed.
The 'blessed' radishes were mixed with others in a great cauldron and fed to the congregation to promote health for the upcoming year.

On December 7th and 8th about 5000 radishes are cooked and 10,000 meals consumed.
There are many theories about the symbolism of the radish...one suggests the cross-section resembles a mirror, a symbol of enlightenment (December 8th is the date Buddha reached Nirvana).

Some final fall harvest: #Daikon, a few small carrots and eggplants, and a watermelon of dubious quality.

🍜RADISHES & NEEDLES🪡
Kyōto has two unusual celebrations that fall around December 8th.
As winter begins there comes an opportunity to eat 'blessed' radishes at Senbon Shaka-dō (千本釈迦堂), and a chance to say goodbye to old needles at Hōrin-ji (法輪寺).

Daikon radish pods.
We stir fry/cook with them. I pickle some of them too. I let several pods go to seed & then tap them for sowing/sharing/saving.#AsianMastodon #ChineseVegetables #GardenersOfMastodon #SDFgardeners #WhatsInMyGarden #zone8 #Saanich #VictoriaBC #yyj #vanisle #VancouverIsland #PNW #PacificNorthwest #GrowFoodNotLawns #harvest #FoodSecurity #FoodGrowers #FoodGarden #GrowYourOwnFood #FreshFood #permaculture #Vegetables #FoodPlants #daikon #RadishPods #SeedPods #Edible
