That's not a radish, this is a radish

The radish on the right is a normal sized radish. The radish on the left is a Rachel and Matt are the shiznit sized radish. We were finally fortunate to have some sunshine a couple days ago to help all of our little plants out. They already look a lot happier. We added a bunch of cool flowers into Rachel's box to make it look that much more beautiful. The peppers are pretty stunted but everything else is looking pretty good now. The spinach is growing after a second germinated batch of seeds were thrown in. The tomatoes are short and bushy, but happy. Brusselsprout and zucchini are on the edge of going crazy.

The reveal





Well after almost two weeks of October weather the sun came out. All of our plants are very confused, it has been horrible pepper and tomato weather. We hope that everybody will be happy soon and start growing again. Our peppers are already bearing fruit, crazy little guys don't know what they are doing. We have been eating radishes like crazy and ready to start harvesting some lettuce soon. We now have the woman's touch that we needed, with Rachel's idea to put an herb and strawberry box in the middle of the plot so it looks more like a garden then a farm. The all-star for the week is our purple brussel sprout bush (back left) which has tripled in size and looks very healthy. The slugs seem to have slowed down on their eating, which is a relief. The last confusing disappointment was after planting a whole row of spinach, only one plant is alive and healthy, so I put in another row of seeds this week.
