I wanted to let everybody know that we do actually have radishes now, I have seen a few with their little round red roots popping up through the dirt! Hopefully in a few days they'll be ready to pick.
I also saw more than a few carrot sprouts in our garden yesterday, which I hadn't noticed until then, so I don't have to worry any more about them. It seems that all the rain we had kind of shoved the carrot seeds further over than I had anticipated, LOL, but that's ok, they haven't gotten in amongst the tomatoes like a few of the radishes did.
And speaking of tomatoes, I am pleased to report that the 3 plants I put in the ground very early and were subsequently severely damaged by the cold, dark, rainy spell have now begun to recover quite nicely. This means that I now have 11 tomato plants in my garden instead of the 8 I was hoping for, but hey, more tomato plants mean more tomatoes, which is never a bad thing.
The heirloom tomatoes I ordered from an organic nursery in California are doing well, they've been in the ground for just about a week now and seem to be thriving. In many ways they look better than the plants I bought from Home Depot!
The tennis ball lettuce continues to grow, albeit at a slower rate now. It looks like we'll be able to harvest the first of the lettuce and a second crop of radishes at approximately the same time.
I planted a number of beets, but I can't identify the sprouts, so I have no idea if I have any beets coming up or not. I am going to go and have a careful look at the garden today to see if I can see any actual beet sprouts!
As soon as I have anything in my garden that looks like a real plant (instead of a sad little baby green thing), I will post pics. Until then, my garden gets to grow.
Hopefully we'll harvest the first of the radishes within the next 7 days.
