Garden, 13th Week

DSC01132 Eight days to go until winter solstice!

DSC01136 There are at least four radishes in here, ready to harvest.  Not very much, considering that I planted two packets of seeds for at  least a dollar each.  There are quite a few less developed radishes that may grow better when the days begin to lengthen.

DSC01133 Young red cabbage plants are doing a little better than they were, but still not visible from a distance.  There is a little mesclun mix in there.  Some newer seedlings are emerging again, now including a red lettuce, which did not come up before.  We’ll see what time does.

DSC01135 Dill does not like it too wet, because the dryer dill a little elevated from the near trench at the edge of the garden, where moisture and rain accumulate, is doing better, now.  But in the heat and dryness of the early fall, the dill was sprouting much better next to the garden’s edge where the higher level of moisture was a definite plus under these dryer conditions.

Next week will be just before the winter solstice, and in two weeks, we will be just after the winter solstice.
