Your garden sounds like a paradise!! My fruit trees are the hardy cold weather sour cherries, crab apples, wild apples and some berries; blackberries, raspberries, blueberries, raspberries and Saskatoon berries. I share mostly with the forest animals and birds.
Your garden actually is a paradise. I'm just over planting on a city lot. I've been wanting Saskatoon berries. Are they delicious? I've heard good things.
Well, I was raised on Saskatoon berries and I think that they are the best berries ever!!!
What makes them "super peppers" if they aren't spicy?
They're spicy, however, as with garlic, the spiciness isn't caused by capscaicin as it is in peppers.
Are they difficult to avoid where you are? Can you tell whoever is serving you not to put them on your plate? I'm allergic to chives, and must be cautious and ask that they not be used. I can't imagine radishes would be difficult for a server to leave off a plate if you ask. Send it back if they add it anyway. It's a pain, but you don't need to be offended by your food, and if you ask that it be left off then it should be left off. I'm sure it's easier in your own home where it's easier to just not bring them in, or ask that people respect your distaste for them and not put them in your food. Food preferences do get trickier at other people's homes, but you might not want to associate with people that force radishes on you anyway. If you protest enough, it shouldn't be a problem.
I have some food allergies, too. If you ever send something back because they put something that you are allergic to onto the plate, be sure to put a lot of pepper on the food, so you can tell if they just pick off the item and send it back.

So don't we all become more bitter with age.
I would love land, doesn't that sound wonderful? I just have a yard. It would be nice to be wealthy, I imagine. I bought during a down turn in the housing market, and was lucky to do so. Couldn't do it now, for sure.
I'll have to try that. Radishes just went on sale for $1.48/bunch so I bought 2 and just had some with cuke and green onions and salt; very nice.
A nice Green Goddess dressing would lovely as well. It was a popular dressing here in the 70s but you don't seem hear about it anymore. It's basically a mayonnaise and herb dressing; primarily a base of parsley and tarragon, but you can play around with it, it's so forgiving. Sometimes I add cilantro, because I'm a cilantro fiend. Sometimes some avocado. I make lots of it when fresh herbs are available. I think it's delicious and I'm always asked for the recipe whenever I serve it to a crowd.
I'll have to try the dressing @Squiby posted, and sweating the garlic. Sounds delicious with fresh radishes. Yum!I'm gonna try that recipe. I find yogurt to be a healthier replacement to sour cream, and over time I can hardly tell the difference when mixed in sauces and dressings.
I have this issue with my wifey about the garlic. Recipes like this and humus recipes that call for raw garlic. I love garlic but it kicks my ass when it's raw. I like to sweat it a bit in olive oil for just a minute or two, just to get the raw heat out of it. She likes it full strength uncooked and I find it too harsh that way. I'm very sensitive.
This! Yum.
