Just TWO radishes

I have been waiting WEEKS for some radish to be ready. WEEKS! Finally, today I could pick some radishes. Just TWO radishes, mind you. Although I have planted many, only two baby radishes were large enough to pluck from the soil.

There is one. Right next to a sprout of garlic. I have been watching this radish intently, waiting for it to be big enough to pick. I made sure the little radish was free of competing weeds and gently hoed the soil around it to release some nutritious nitrogen. Still, this little radish took it's time.

My patience finally wore thin and I plucked these slow little radishes from my cold frame. Yes, my cold frame is required to grow any vegetables this early in the season. Zone 2 baby, I get my vegetables the hard way.

Here they are. The two largest radishes in my little patch. As radishes go, these are still tiny, but big enough to eat. Sadly, I do not have anything else to go with them. My land is still barren except for the tiniest seedlings still too timid to make a move. There is just a thin chive here and a green onion top there. Not enough to make a salad without the help of imported romaine leaves and celery stalks.

Here are my newly harvested radishes all jumbled up with the immigrant leaves. I am so glad these vegetables have made the long journey from warmer climes. Thanks for coming and making my salad whole.
