First fruits
Our first crop from our 2012 planting has come in. These radishes were planted March 17 and harvested (by Mrs. Gardener) May 6. That is 7 weeks and about 250 growing degree days (base 50). I plan to plant some more as soon as the soil dries out, but with warming temps I should get a crop in fewer weeks. These are very tasty radishes too--very mild. We received 5.6 inches of rain this week, which should give the subsoil a good reserve in advance of transplanting activities in the next few weeks, once we are past the last average frost date.

So are the salt and pepper shakers a fashions statement or something? Or are they just there to give the radishes moral support? :D
ReplyDeleteDefinitely a fashion statement to make the photo more interesting, but I find it also implies the end use, that these radishes are for eating! Not that they need salt or pepper...
