My Radish-Growing Update

After devouring my first radish, I was looking forward to the continuation of the season. But it proved to be quite short! The second radish was pretty cool and deserves a few of portraits (I used thicker gouache with this one and tried different techniques of applying paint while waiting for lunch time). But since then, we had a heatwave, and I believe the rest of my plants promptly decided to "bolt" - meaning they now have beautiful flowers and no edible root. The Internet is full of ideas about why and what now, but I think I will enjoy drawing beautiful plants instead of beautiful roots.
