Title: radish and stalks
Post by: Trisha on June 15, 2010, 08:30

I have some radishes to give the girls.  Are they okay to give to them and are the stalks okay as they are slightly prickly? :unsure:

I tried ours with radish leaves. They tried and refused them, too prickly. Didnt bother again.

Ive just come back from weeding my patch - and chucked a load of radishes, leaf and all, to the hens. They went mad for them - which is just as well as I hate raddishes and just grow them to mark out the parsnips!
