Radishes

We've harvested the first of our garden bounty! And I didn't take a pic! We have harvested about 3 lbs worth of radishes from our raised bed in the last week or so. The biggest bunch was picked last night, mostly by Liam and Molly, who have no interest in eating them, but they love to pick them, and Molly even rinsed them in the wheelbarrow and removed the greens.

And, I get to enjoy them all myself since no one else cares for them....

This planting will all be harvested this weekend, I imagine, though we have a couple of smaller plantings started and more seeds. I've been planting them with carrots since they germinate and grow a lot faster than carrots, and it helps to have the kids see something actually growing in a patch of dirt so they don't think it's a place to dig!

I am (slowly) working on putting together some posts for the urban homesteading blog. I will keep you updated.
