First Harvest: Radishes


We harvested half the radishes and ate them for dinner. It was fun to have all different colors. They were nice and spicy. I was surprised at the different sizes. We left some in the ground because they seemed quite small. I planted a second crop a few weeks ago and they're sprouted now. I think I'll pull up the rest of the radishes in this square and plant more lettuce.

Lettuce and Spinach

The lettuce in growing well. Take a look at the previous post and see how much they've grown in just three weeks. I can tell I disturbed the seeds by watering soon after they were planted, because the square is not evenly covered with lettuce plants. I'm looking forward to the day when I can take my scissors and fill the salad bowl.

The spinach is becoming recognizable. I think everything has slowed down some now that the days are getting shorter and the nights are cooler.
