I’m pretty disappointed with the vegetables that I’ve pulled up. The carrot in the picture below is less than the width of a normal pencil and I’m sure that the radish is not meant to be that size (about two pencils thick) with a deformed tail and roots growing out of it.
On a lighter note, the corn stalks still seem to be holding up, as do the peppers and basil, but the rest of the plants did not make it through the hotter days we had a couple of weeks ago.
I was looking forward to my radishes but the first one I pulled this afternoon didn’t look very appetising. It was pretty small and the roots were actually growing out of the eatable bit. Not sure why it did this – maybe it wasn’t buried in the ground deep enough? The basil is coming on (and has now reached the height of the cage) along with the pepper and corn so tomorrow night I’ll be swapping the cage for a fence.
The radishes have surfaced tonight – yesterday there was no sign of them, and now there are 16 (I guess but I didn’t count). The other squares are coming on nicely but I didn’t take a photo of those – the radishes were more impressive
