After 3 month of growth

Today my expremental plant, that I started indoor and replanted outdoor (see my previous publication for this plant history), showed sign of bolting and I digged it out. There is good news that I've got good size root, but there is a bad news also. The root is light and it does not look perfect with a lot of laterals.

 

 

 

Garden Extention

Getting close to my target black radish seeding day I recognized that there is not much space left to my black radish. So, I decided that my garden need another extention. It is third one since we moved to this house.

 

 

Black Radish - early seeding failure

In my previous post I mentioned that my black radish started to bolt. Today I pulled all of them that have a sign of putting growth in the main stem. But some is still left growing without forming main stem.

My experimental plant started to bolt

June 14/2012. It is more than two week left to my target seeding date and my black radish plant from experimental early seeding started to show sign of bolting.

I cut all flower stems and left plant to see what will happen next.

Meanwhile my experemental plant that I seeded indoor and replanted outdoor has no sign of generative development and I am looking forward to taste it soon.

 

Else, the seeding time - when Mountain Ash blooms

When I saw a mountain ash in its full bloom yesterday (June 2/2012)  I recall that in the publication, referred in my previous post, it is the time when the author seeds black radish.
"еще срок  посева редьки- когда цветет рябина"
"Else, the seeding time - when Mountain Ash blooms".
I  seeded two experimental rows at this time also.

 

 Below is my experimental plant seeded indoor and replanted in garden at the same day.
