As a Mexican, for all of you who have radishes, when we have tacos we usually have some radishes on the side, whole or sliced, that we take bites of as we are eating. It’s a nice, fresh, spicy, refreshing way to cut back on the greasiness or heaviness of the food. I also like to slice them up and let them sit in lime juice and salt and have them along our carne asada meals too! Drinking the remaining pinkish lime juice at the end is also a nice treat. Though may not be for everyone 😂 Hope my two cents help.

crop #1 reminded me of a story. when I was a kiddle in 2nd grade we all had to grow something in a little pot of dirt and everyone did little flowers and whatnot but I did corn. all these little pots of flowers and there's my 3 foot high corn stalk growing out of a milk jug. I only got tiny little ears of corn but it was still funny.

If you want to give your beans a for sure sprout and head start. Put them inside of a damp paper towel inside of a ziplock to observe them until they sprout roots. Once they do, plant them directly like normal and enjoy not having to worry about failures to germinate.

You can speed up carrot seeds if you mix them with moist sand and keep them in a jar for two days and then sow them directly into the ground. It’s much faster and you get a good spacing (no more thinning). I still sow radishes into the same roe bc they will be harvested when the carrots need the space. So, I have more yield from the same space. 🙂

One year, I started sweet and ornamental corn indoors and then transplanted outdoors. It was my best year for corn.
