Season of the Radish

We are growing many more things than just radishes but so far this season the radishes have just come in very abundant.

The maturity rate is great for the impatient gardener. Within 3-4 weeks of seeding our first set, we were eating radishes. (well actually my wife was eating them. I dont really like radishes. I just like to grow things) I do have to say that these didnt have that sharp taste that the store bought radishes have had in the past.

As it started in 2009




This was the first year i decided to try and grow corn. i live in a townhouse SO.... i have to be creative on where i can plant things. Luckily i am the end unit so i do have a very small side yard. That is now a raised box garden 3.5 feet by 16ish feet. Well back to my point. Corn. I read that corn can make a great barrier from the wind. So im growing some this year as a test. All goes well, next year they will be my garden end caps.

I had already started the garden this year and then i heard about the corn trick.


This is a Sarah Black tomato plant.
