second radish harvest

I'm a huge fan of these French Breakfast radishes. This is the second harvest, meaning I planted a second round of seeds after the first batch of radishes were harvested. 30 day cycle. The space is now ready for another round...but I have more pickled radishes than I can eat!

dragon carrots

Way back in March I planted some carrots in with the radishes. Carrot seeds are so small, so I planted them just beneath the surface of the soil. The radishes came up so quickly, leaving the carrots behind and crowding out the carrots for sun.


But some of the carrots persevered through two rounds of radishes. They grow slowly but they sure are beautiful when they finally come out of the ground. This variety is called Dragon Carrot. Inside, they are yellowish-orange.
