Just popping in to say condolences to Rooster. I'm not much of a cat person but that doesn't mean I can't appreciate the loss and sadness felt by the loss of a pet. 
Also a wave to storybrooke. I'm also a newbie but just loving it. Not sure what the solution is to your beds though. I'll leave that to the more accomplished gardeners.
My radishes are also ready to pick now. Waiting for the DC to get into the garden tomorrow so they can do the picking.
I was also thinking about growing Asian greens. I had some fenugreek seeds in my kitchen cupboard that were almost 4 years old and we're ready to be dumped. A few weeks ago I decided to scatter them into a a bit of multipurpose compost in a couple of old roasting tins and they have come up wonderfully. A 200g pack of fenugreek seeds costs only 69p from Asian grocers and so they really go a long way. I have since scattered them in all the bare patches of my back garden and the seeds are all germinating. They've even germinated and taken root underneath the shade of my humongous gunnera.
We do eat fenugreek often. I add it to curries and daals. You can also chop up a couple of onions, add some spices (cumin powder, salt, chilli, tummeric) and a bit of garlic and then add the chopped fenugreek. Let it cook for about 10-15 mins on a low heat and then crack in 2-3 eggs and mix. It makes a lovely dish that we eat with chapati or on toast covered with a bit of cheese.
I find that not many people grow it but it's up there with radish as one of the fastest growing crops. My youngest DD loves the dish above and she gets involved in planting, picking, cooking all the way to the plate.
