I am an aspiring gardener. I find it that gardening is a great exercise for the patience muscle, and a very rewarding experience for someone who enjoys looking at plants and tinkering with things! I sowed some seeds of radish in the fall and watched this pot being soaked by a series of wet winter storms, while little leaves started to grow, and then bigger and bigger ones. And then one morning, I saw my very first radish poking out of the ground. If you do not know, radishes stick a bit when ready to harvest. I pulled it out right away and shared it with my family - right after I sketched this beauty! Now, with the next one (almost ready to be gathered), hopefully I will be patient enough to sketch it still in the ground and then on the plate. At least that is my intention.
I planted about 12 seeds, some did not make it, but quite a few did - so get ready for a spring series lol :)
Send me your favorite ways of eating radishes! I am also researching some interestingly-shaped and unusually-colored ones to try growing next :)
