Success-Mini Garden

My zucchini is doing great! We already ate 2 of them. It was delicious.

The dill was tasty.

The chives never came up

I think the parsley was overtaken by the SUPER radishes.

I don't even like radishes, but I though to just throw in a few seeds. My SIL thinned them out a few weeks later. When we got back from France they were a foot high. They kept on growing and I didn't pick any.

My land lady finally asked me "What kind of flowers are you growing?" I told (In Dutch!) and she didn't believe me. She thought I had planted turnips. I went upstairs and plucked one and lo-and-behold it was a radish. A normal size radish with 2 feet of leaves. Crazy, huh?

We thought it was pretty fibery. I once again was reminded that I don't like that spicy flavor, so I didn't eat any of my harvest. Finally I was forced to pull them out and give them to rabbits. They had about 3 feet of stems. They sucked up all that water and made the stems almost an inch thick.

No radishes next year.
