Day, let's see, 27 and 22, carry the 6..., let's call it day 55 of 30 days to full maturity and I get my first radish. That was a damned good radish. Round, firm, with a good crunch and that radish spiciness that I haven't gotten from a grocery stare radish in a long time. Yep, a mighty fine radish. I don't know that it's a good fifty-five day radish, but a good radish, nonetheless.
Meanwhile, the peas are averaging about 6" tall; the leeks (and onions, for that matter) are these thin, green strands sticking up; what carrots have actually developed true leaves are barely 2" tall; I can't tell the difference between the beets and the bluebells that have started sprouting; and the lettuce-. Don't get me started on the lettuce.
You know, it's a sad day when one finally comes to accept that one is no better a gardener than Oliver Wendell Douglas. At least he had the fall-back of hanging out his shingle in Pixley.
