Today I’m going to share the second recipe from our Beer Dinner last week – Strawberry-Heirloom Radish Relish Bruschetta, our appetizer for the evening.

We have a few winter-hearty vegetables growing in our vegetable garden today: radishes, cilantro, and oregano. We didn’t have much luck with the radishes last year, so we scattered a ton of seeds this year and hoped for the best. We didn’t have the heart to thin them as they started growing, so we have a lot of small radishes to enjoy now. Gardening Lesson of the Day: thin your veggies! I think we would have ended up with much larger plants had we followed that rule, but we are fairly amateur gardeners. =)
