Sprouts!

The radishes sprouted first, on Friday, in just 5 days. These are Easter Egg Radishes from Renee's Garden in Felton CA. They're supposed to be white, pink, red or purple. I bought a lot of seeds from Renee's Garden, thinking that because it's nearby, the plants should do well here. I can see why they say radishes are good to grow for kids. It's very satisfying to see them sprout so soon.

Now I have the hard job of thinning them. The author of Square Foot Gardening says to use scissors to cut off the seedlings you don't want. I may pull the radishes to put in a salad.

This is the mesclun--baby salad greens. I'm looking forward to a whole square foot full of little lettuce leaves of different kinds.
