Recipe: Radish leaves soup

Story of a radish from seed to soup
April 15, 2008


I didn't know what compost was until last year. I tought that the compost bin was some kind of electric oven for weeds. I swear it!
After some googling I understood the basics, and this winter I started experimenting: tea grounds, apple peels, cat hair, dead leaves, paper, ungerminated seeds...
All in a pot on the balcony, and then covered with soil.
This spring I put a radish seed in the pot: will it rot? will it be some kind of mutant?

Non so se sei sempre tu, e siccome non ho trovato un modo per contattarti in privato, te lo scrivo qui. Cercando ricette per usare le foglie di ravanello, ho notato il tuo post, e subito dopo questo: http://www.ilmeglioincucina.it/it/zupparavanello.html
Visto che tempo fa è successo ad alcune amiche, che si sono viste rubare foto e ricette, ho pensato di dirtelo.
