Excited about these Easter egg radishes! Planning on planting the royalty purple beans In a week or so.
Woohoo! Planted my radish on Saturday! Can’t wait till they sprout!
I usually direct sow all of these a bit later in the year but you’ve awoken the Feral in me and I started them indoors last night. Woo! Not all the seeds so I’m not 100% gambling though 😆 let’s grow some fun!
My Squash is growing nicely – started another batch a few days ago. Beans just popped up today and the Easter Egg radish has been up for over a week!
Royalty Purple Beans are looking good
I love that these Easter Egg Radishes have sprouted! I’m planting more of them this week. Will probably plant my squash indoors next week. After March 27th I’ll plant the beans directly outside…unless I get feral and plant them early!
I can not wait to get the garden started this year. I am concerned that we have not had enough snow and may have water restrictions.
Will we be able to see everyone’s pictures throughout this challenge? Id love to see how everyone’s veggies are growing in different places!
