Backyard Garden Update 1

The backyard garden is doing well. Most of the seeds I planted have germinated and the seedlings are well on their way. I have picked a few small radishes here and there and they taste pretty good. I will probably pick the rest of them in about a week. The spinach and lettuce are all doing surprisingly well; I planted them about 6 weeks ago and will probably start cutting off some spinach leaves for salads soon. The sugar snap peas are also doing well, although I would estimate that I only had an 80-85% germination rate which is good but not as good as I wanted. Most of the pea plants are standing at about 18" now.


Next week I will be starting bush green beans: tenderpod and another variety with purple pods (Liz's pick). I'm also trying to find some edamame (soybean) seed to plant as well. More updates to come.
