And.... They're Up! - April 27
Finally... the radishes and peas are coming up! I just kept checking the raised beds every morning and evening. We have had a few rain showers, but nothing significant. The soil was very dry so I had to get the garden hose out of winter storage and hook it up to the faucet. I began to give those little seeds a drink every day... once in the morning and once in the evening. It paid off. The radishes and peas are up!
Here are radish seedlings (above).
If you are new to gardening, it kind of makes sense to notice what these newly sprouted plants look like. When they first come out of the ground they do not look like a miniature version of the ready-to-eat plant! When I first started gardening, I would conscientiously go out to the garden with the intention of plucking weeds that were coming up. However, sometime weed seedlings look very much like vegetable crop seedlings. So, developing an awareness of what the seedlings look like is important!

We have an entire week of sunshine and warmer temperatures predicted! Happy gardening!
