For beets I recommend slicing them or cutting them into fairly thin wedges. The larger they are the more slowly they'll ferment. Radishes make great pickles. You can see a (spicy!) recipe for them at my post <a href="http://www.awesomepickle.com/archives/51" rel="nofollow">how to pickle anything.</a> As the title of that post suggests, you can pickle most vegetables, or most soft and semi-soft vegetables, in brine. I once made a great pickle of little round Thai eggplants with cilantro and chilies and I saw those at the farmers' market over the weekend... Hey Michael, glad the kraut worked out for you.

I went a little crazy with the cumin seeds in this batch, so I'm already scheming about future batches. Any recommendations about making pickled beets? Radishes? What should we keep in mind if we strike out for other vegetables? Viva la fermentation! Just enjoying some of the kraut from the workshop this evening–marvelous!
