Early summer in my garden

Another week, another gardening post...

It was raining a bit last week, and my garden took off. I don't only mean the produce, but the weeds too. I knew this moment would come when I was cleaning the garden in spring and saw the seeds spreading all over the garden while removing old dry weeds. It was impossible to avoid it. It took some time for them to germinate as it wasn't raining and I only water the soil around my plants, but as soon as they got the chance they all started popping up and annoying me. I keep them for now as they are too tiny and my patience for them is too thin, so I let them grow a bit before removing them. From my experience it won't take long for them to grow and I only wish that my vegetables would grow as fast as the weeds. I try to ignore them for now and focus on my plants.

Let's look at the progress!

I didn't plan to grow radishes, but when I had a few moments I took some seeds and spread them all over the raised bed. I didn't even expect them to germinate as the seeds are at least 3 years old, but to my surprise, I am able to harvest a few radishes every day. I don't need many as I only like them with bread and butter, so delicious! Well, I like to bake them in the oven with a little bit of olive oil and maple syrup too, but I only do it when there are too many of them.
