I pulled my first radish of the season:
So what if I was thinning my radish bed at the time and this guy was one of the ones that "got thinned"...barely a tenth the size of a normal radish:
I see it as an optimistic sign of beautiful radishes to come!
Cute lil baby radish!
ReplyDeleteYay radish! My garden is going very slooowwwwlllly this year. Glad to hear that yours is producing already!
ReplyDeletei sure am missing having a garden this year. i guess stink bugs have not invaded your area yet? teddy's undercoat looks a lot like kai's. some people use their chows undercoat to spin into yarn.
ReplyDeleteHee hee. Fooled me. I thought that was a big radish until the last photograph!
ReplyDeletelol, this was an optical illusion. I was looking at the radish thinking "aww what a pretty radish" thinking it was a "real" radish, and then I get to teh last picture and its not even as big as your finger nail!
ReplyDeleteSo...I know NOTHING of radishes. It wasn't part of our diet. What do you like to do with them? I don't think I've ever even tasted one.
If it would just become spring, I mean really spring, maybe I'd get inspired to plant a garden! But this rain, hail, and even snow in May has us really confused! This is California, after all!
ReplyDeleteSarah,
ReplyDeleteI use radishes in salads. Or in sandwiches - like a sliced boiled egg sandwich with slices of radishes in it too.
I think they can probably be pickled.
Cute! Perfect salad size. No slicing. Of course I really don't know since I don't eat them. But it seems rational.
ReplyDeleteRock on! :) You just reminded me... we should probably start doing the same in our garden.
ReplyDeleteBy the way, I want you to know that you've truly been my inspiration for vegetable and raspberry gardening this year. :)
I had to laugh. Hope you had this little guy for dinner. The fact that this radish survived this very wet spring ,is a sign that your garden will be it's most productive this year. Radishes Rock!
ReplyDeleteGreat photos....
lol great little radish, you just need a baby tomato and a mini cucumber to go with it ::)
ReplyDeleteLove the mini radish! We've had so much rain, I don't even have my potatoes planted yet!!
ReplyDeleteYour gonna have tons and gazillions of radishes..and if they're all as perfect looking as that little one..awhhhhhhhh..your gonna be in radish heaven:) My ultimate fav..wish you could ship me a bag of them..better yet..wish I was there with the salt shaker:)
ReplyDeleteI hate thinning. I did that to our lettuce the other day, and felt like I was committing lettuce homicide. My hubby thinned the corn too and I asked him how he felt. He said it "wasn't his finest hour" :)
ReplyDeleteAh, perspective---I thought that was a full grown radish. I always hated thinning. It made me feel bad for the ones that I pulled. Silly me.
ReplyDeleteI hate to thin out. I know it is necessary but I still hate pulling up good plants! Hope you got to eat it ;) And thanks for your kind words about Eclipse on my blog.
ReplyDeleteRadishes are great. What fun it is to pull the first veggie from the garden.--Inger
ReplyDeleteLittle things to herald large things coming:) Here's to good radishes and many good things to come.
ReplyDeleteI can't believe I failed to notice the lack of critters in this farm post....
