Life of the Radish

I am a little behind on this. Bear with me!

radish1 

The seeds were planted on The 7th of December, 20 days ago from this post.

they germinated within the week of planting.

The Radishes are under a daylight florescent bulb on a shop light spot light.

I used general miracle grow plant mix.

This is growing in a galvanized steel planter approx 14"x4" (i think) and it has about 3 or more inches of soil.  

I have a 19-30 days listed as harvest time but being day 20 I doubt it will meet that. I think it might be the cold Temps in the basement sometimes dropping into the low 50's.

 

This post will be updated.

Yet another harvest

These things are coming faster than I can cook with them.

onions 

They make good seasoning for soups and anything I throw into the oven. Good for garnish and wonderful for salads. Right now there is the bundle pictured that will be for dinner tonight an my salad for lunch and now I have not had to buy onions in weeks and probably will not have to buy them for the rest of the winter.

Then I will keep them going for greens until I get my first batch of scallions in the spring (When i get to buying bulbs for planting outdoors)  

This was a total savings!

And yes those are twist ties from the toys. I hate those things when I have to take them off the toys but they sure come in handy when you save them. 

Its coming along

The indoor garden is comming along. Aready i have…..

A bag of the onion greens i have not been able to go through. I have taken approx. 5-6 cuttings of the greens already for dish seasonings. This is a must keep for the kitchen and basement garden. Today is fertalizer friday. I remember it better by saying it that way. I gave all my plants a shot of all purpose liquid fertalizer.

Here is my stuff so far 

14 days after i planted the seeds i got in the mail and 20 days (estimated) after i had planted everything else (the mesculen, the onions, and the potato)

this is chicory bionda i think this one is interesting right now because the leaves look so full and thick and productive already at their small size!

 

But as to new additions. i am excited.

As i had said i found another neat catalog which will be another post but keep your eyes out for pics that i found in the catalog and also pick that have been chosen by their helpful forum " I Dig My Garden"
