Black licorice, country music, blue cheese, skinny jeans, Trump…and Cilantro.
What do the things on this list have in common? They’re polarizing. These are things that we tend to either really love, or absolutely hate.

Right about now, everyone is starting to grow their own little treasure piles of fresh veggies and flowers. People at my work are bringing in extra armloads of herbs and peonies from whatever enormous and fertile valleys they live in.

Have you ever heard of “Hero Snow?” It is powder so soft and deep that you can almost ski it without fear or inhibition. It makes you look amazing no matter what dumb move you’re attempting. It makes the gaper succeed where he may have failed before. Radishes are like that.

You can use old seeds in a garden with bad soil and pests, hardly take care of them, and you’ll still probably have at least a few tasty radishes in less than a month. And, they are just as willing to get down to business indoors. So, go get yourself some radish seeds and prepare for awesomeness.
