Radishes, sun and a little rain

Strange how one radish is shaped differently...






Looks like 3 zucchinis!


Wonder how many of these will thrive?

An Orange or Yellow Sweet Pepper

The basil's looking better.

I hear I may have too much asparagus, we'll see!


Some more baby tomatoes slowly getting larger.



The radishes have gotten big, so I harvested quite a few on Saturday, 6/16. . Some were sauteed and used in a cheese omelete. Evidentally radishes are not very spicy once cooked, who knew!
I also planed what I believe are sunflowers on the north edge of the garden space. It's either sunflowers or zinnia's... time will tell if the little plants aren't devoured before then.
This week I spend a bit of time researching composting, and row covers. When I plant a late summer crop of lettuce and spinach, I plan to use a row cover and need to get that in place. The type of composting I'm interested in a three bin wooden type, which looks to work most efficiently for moving the compost as it evolves into soil.

  1. The promise of a good zucchini.... yum. I like the three bin composting system too, I just have to build it, in due time.

  2. I've used the three bin method of composting for years, tho right now my chicken pen is my compost pile, as in the future it will become more garden space. love your pile of radishes, they look so bright and healthy

  3. Your plant are looking so nice and healthy! I never could grow decent radishes. I either get no root at all, or I get lovely ones that the bugs chew up.
