radish cycle is going nicely. i web-searched 'how to grow radishes' and learned some new things. for one, it's time now they say to plant the long-root white radishes as they tolerate heat more than the red-rounds. then plant red-rounds(mine are champion varitey) again in fall for another cycle. i have let several radish plants alone so as to collect my own seed; they're now flowering and i saw a moth pollinating them today. both moth & flower pretty & can't say i ever saw them before. another new thing i learned is that you can eat the radish seed pods. i think i'll let a few more go to seed.
of all the seeds i planted or sprouted of the dark-shelled milo (sorghum) i have only 2 growing plants to show for it, and they are yet some wimpy little threats of plants.
i have a nice set (12) of sprouts now in the ground of a smaller white hulled seed from my birdseed; it may be sorghum as well.
my black-oil sunflower starts did well in the eggcrates and are now in the ground. better late than never???
all 3 varities of tomatoes have bloomed; won't be long now.
i planted some popcorn; 2 plants have emerged. knee-high by 4th of july? not so much.
that's a wrap.
