Its been a busy spring. Ive expanded the vegetable garden this year to include several new beds. Im using a modified version of the square foot garden method developed by Mel Bartholomew. Its a great method of gardening for urban farmers. It allows for maximum results from minimal space and work. If youre thinking about any type of gardening you should check out his methods. His boos All New Square Foot Gardening, Second Edition can be purchased in hardback or digital format. Its a great resource. I highly recommend it.
While still building a few last square foot raised garden beds I noticed the square I planted radishes in. I lost track of how many days it had been since I planted them. Theres nothing like that joy of the first harvest.
I cleaned and sampled my first harvest. Juicy, crisp and with that suttle heat radishes have. Sometimes radishes from the grocery store have more heat that I like. Im assuming these are older or have been sitting around for a longer time. Ill store a few in the chill for a couple days and see how the heat changes.
There are many more still growing to size out in the garden. Think this is definitely something to think about planting again in early fall. Seed to my mouth in about 20 days... not bad.
